Encyclopedia Smithsonian: Art to Zoology

Submitted by Ellen on Sun, Apr 25, 2010 - 9:02pm

The Smithsonian has linked to a broad range of materials here, including history, science, art and culture.  A good first source for material or information.  Some topics include lesson plans, and all are fully referenced.  The entries are aimed at adults, but most topics are appropriate for children. It is all available for free.
