This resource is geared toward the younger students. It is very easy to use and the vocabulary will be suitable for the younger student. When looking up armadillo, there are several very good articles. The first article and several others include pictures. The basic information about size, color, habitat, habits are found in the articles, so all the basics are covered.
The country facts are very useful. I like the idea of the graphic organizers for the very young, and then progressively more informative.
I would use the different maps for country identification. If a class is studying South America, the outline map could be printed off, and then students could lable the countries.
I would also use the teacher resources. There is no end to what is possible with this source.
Hi, BookGram, You've taken a good look at much of what SIRS Discover has to offer. I'll just note that the US historical maps contain Revolutionary & Civil War battlefield maps. World Historical maps include WWI & WWII battlefield maps. You can also search maps for things like "earthquakes" and get interesting results. The teacher resources include worksheets ready to print to help students learn information literacy. Thanks for your comments!
