Solar System Scavenger Hunt  http://edtech.kennesaw.edu/jcheek1/scavhunt.htm

This is a really nice scavenger hunt.  The site's information and reading is age appropriate.  It give students the opportunity to learn and/or review facts.  It is easy to follow and a good site for students to work with a partner.  I like the site because it forces students to go to a new site research for information.

Great resource for teachers.  It give a really nice history of the Delaware.  It also gives information on anything from games they played to their clothing.  It gives nice pictures and illustration.  It also has a talking dictionary.  Some older students could use this website.  However, the teacher could use this website along with younger students.  Especially the talking dictionary!  It would be nice to use in a whole class activity.

I just loved this website.  It has a lot of history that happen right here in Mifflin County.  It also has a timeline, which is very helpful.

Not a lot of information out there on the Susquehannock tribe.  However, this is probably the best website I found.  It does give you information on their customs, villages, and languages.  This site is for educators or older students.  It gives good information for lesson planning.  It gives some other links and suggestions.
