Project Vote Smart: Introduction to US Government
"This concise civics course, with emphasis on the political process, covers both federal and state governments. But that’s not all you’ll find at the extensive Project Vote Smart ("Knowledge is the source of all power") site. "This national non-partisan, non-profit effort researches, tracks and provides to the public independent factual information on over 13,000 candidates and elected officials. Voting records, campaign issue positions, performance evaluations by special interests, campaign contributions, backgrounds, previous experience, and contact information are available." "

PBS: Yellowstone River Otters
"Yellowstone’s hot waters are the secret to the river otter’s survival through the cold, icy winters. The same energy that shoots geysers into the air, stops Yellowstone rivers and lakes from freezing over, thus insuring the otters a steady supply of fish to eat. A relative of the sea otter and the weasel, Yellowstone’s river otters are fun to watch, as they are constantly in motion, avoiding predators. Best clicks are Life of the Otter and Inside the Hot Zone."

PBS: Yellowstone: America’s Sacred Wilderness
"Eloquent prose, fabulous photographs, amazing 3-D tours and three marvelous Webquests (for students in grades four through six) make this my pick-of-the-day site. Start your adventure with the virtual panoramic tours of Mammoth Hot Springs, Tower Fall and Old Faithful. Other great clicks are Reflections on Yellowstone (a look the land and the threats closing in on it), Featured Creatures (bears, wolves, elk and bison), and the Yellowstone screensavers for Mac and Windows."

PBS: Kids Democracy Project
"This PBS site for grades three to six is evergreen because it does not specifically cover the 2004 elections, but rather the process itself. ""How Does Government Affect Me?"" is the largest of the three sections, with pages of learning on topics as diverse as funding local schools to checks and balances in the three branches of the federal government. ""President for a Day"" is an interactive exercise where you learn all about the president’s duties by creating your own presidential agenda."
