Free US Gov't Resources for Educators

FREE -- Federal Resources for Educational Excellence -- is a site run by the U.S. government that collects teaching and learning resources from dozens of federal agencies. It is organized by subject area: Arts & Music, Health & Phys. Ed., History & Social Studies, Language Arts, Math, and Science. Here are a few sites I found through FREE:
  • Amazing Space -  Classroom resources based on the Hubble Space Telescope's discoveries
  • World Wise Schools - From the Peace Corps. Offers a way for classrooms to connect with Peace Corps volunteers and to view information posted on the website from volunteers. Also provides lesson plans, podcasts, and insights into global issues. Try the Peace Corps Challenge Game.
  • Read.gov - from the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress
