American Art Museum
"Treasures galore await at the American Art Museum, home to the "largest collection of American art in the world." Best sections are Education (especially Kids’ Corner, Learning with New Media, and Journey through Art) and Collections & Exhibitions (don’t miss Browse the Collection, Helios, Director’s Choice and Online Exhibitions.) My personal favorites are Bottle Caps to Brushes (in Kids’ Corner) for elementary grades, and the curator’s commentary about Vegetable Dinner by Peter Blume (in Director’s Choice) for high-school students."

American Visionaries: Thomas Moran
"Thomas Moran was an early twentieth-century American artist whose Yellowstone watercolors where shown to Congress by national park proponents. His artwork was a powerful argument, and Congress established the National Park System (NPS) in 1916. This Web exhibit features Moran’s watercolors and sketches and the photography of William Henry Jackson, another member of the original Yellowstone survey team."

America’s Library: Explore the States
"The purpose of this Library of Congress site is ""to have fun with history while learning at the same time."" Each state is introduced with a single paragraph overview, but the meat of the site is the tales called Local Legacies. Last year, in celebration of the Library’s 200th birthday, more than 1,300 events, crafts, and customs representing traditional American community life were documented with stories and photographs. America’s Library is an online collection of these Local Legacies. While you’re poking around, be sure to try the Treasure Hunt. <!--"

Alaska Zoo
"The Alaska Zoo in Anchorage has a nice collection of animal fact pages, many created by elementary students from Willow Crest School. Visit the Birds and Native Species sections for pictures and vital statistics(such as habitat and behavior) on twenty-seven native Alaskan animals including otters, eagles, and moose. Best click is the Bear Cam, where you can watch Ahpun the polar bear and Oreo the brown bear play together."

Alaska @ National Geographic
"Any way you slice it, Alaska is BIG. At more than twice the size of Texas, it accounts for one-fifth of all United States land. Here you’ll find North America’s highest peak and lowest ocean trough, fjords to surpass Norway’s, mountains to humble the Alps, and glaciers to rival Greenland’s. National Geographic surveys Alaska’s Land, Wildlife, History and People. Highlights are the Bear Essentials video (under Wildlife), the Native People feature, and the e-mail postcards available in each section."

50 States
"50 States is a fun collection of state facts, trivia and links. If you are trying to memorize the state capitals or postal abbreviations, you can quiz yourself from the list of states on the home page. To see the answers, linger your mouse over the manilla folder next to each state. Other quirky highlights include a link to each state’s most famous permanent residents (those in graves), links to each state’s license plates (current and historical) and live Web cams from each state."
