Attendance Forms and Student Sign-in Sheets

We absolutely love the standard classroom attendance books. The trouble is that they are hard to find, expensive, etc. We have a DIY (Do It Yourself) version of the standard classroom attendance book, with pages you print yourself. We also have various student sign-in sheets that are terrific for daily use, using with subs, or having kids use during group meetings, study halls, detentions, etc. Click here to browse our selection of classroom attendance forms and student sign-in sheets.

The Scientific Revolution PowerPoint Presentation

We have launched a terrific web page featuring a Scientific Revolution PowerPoint Presentation. This PowerPoint is available in multiple formats. Also included are printable note-taking sheets for students to use in the classroom.

Galileo Galilei Image Gallery

We have launched a Galileo Galilei Image Gallery for those teachers and students studying the Scientific Revolution. Ever "read" a book by flipping through it and reading the picture captions? Then this is the portrait gallery for you! This is a 100% free educational image gallery of Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), the famous Italian astronomer. Galileo was convicted of heresy by the Inquisition for his advocation, among other things, of a heliocentric view of the universe. Galileo is known as the "father of modern physics."

Declaration of Independence

"We declare these truths to be self-evident..."

The Declaration of Independence is one of the most important documents in American history. Adopted on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was written primarily by Thomas Jefferson. We have images, DBQs, and more, related to the Declaration of Independence. Check out our American History Educational Materials today.

The Declaration of Independence: "When in the course of human events..." How much do you remember from the preamble?

President Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th president of the United States of America. Lincoln's leadership saw the Union to victory in the American Civil War. In April of 1865, Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's Theatre by Confederate spy John Wilkes Booth. In honor of Abraham Lincoln, and to aid teachers and students in learning about this president, we have created an Abraham Lincoln Image Gallery full of photographs and political cartoons.

Mark Twain Image Gallery

It seems like everyone is eagerly awaiting the publication of Mark Twain's (1835-1910) sealed memoirs. According to his wishes, Twain's memoirs will be released posthumously (100 years after his death) on November 15, 2010, and will certainly top the best seller book lists. In honor of this pending book release, we have uploaded a new Mark Twain Photo Gallery. Browse through the pictures and learn a little about this famous American writer and public speaker.

News: September, 2010

Another school year has begun. As usual, we are hard at work to create meaningful educational experiences for you to share with your students.

Many new items have been uploaded in recent weeks. One interesting item is a U.S. Citizenship Practice Test. This is a test that mirrors the official test administered by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) for American citizen-candidates. This test is available in both interactive and printable formats.

Why give this test to students? 1. The test enlightens students regarding what citizen-candidates are expected to know about the United States. 2. The test can serve as a wake-up call to students about how much, or how little, they know about their country. 3. The test is a terrific "pre-test" for students beginning their study of American Government or United States History.
