Kidipede is a children's online encyclopedia covering mainly history and science topics. Click here: http://www.historyforkids.org/ to go to the History for Kids home page. Children (Upper Elementary, Middle School, and High School) may access topics such as Ancient China or Ancient India (and many more). Each topic is further divided more specifically. For example under Ancient China students can find: Chinese History, Chinese Art, China Architecture, Chinese Daily Life, Chinese Religion, Chinese Literature, and Chinese Inventions. And, there are various projects for students to complete, as well as an online teacher's guide. This is an excellent one-stop source for students to learn all about the different aspects of daily life, culture, economy, and government of the people of ancient civilizations. Easy to access and easy to navigate for individual or cooperative group research.
This site was begun in 1995 as a community service project and is now maintained and updated by Dr. Karen Carr. She is Professor Emeritus of History at Portland State University. Check it out!!
