Interdisciplinary
HyperHistory onLine
http://www.hyperhistory.com./online_n2/History_n2/a.html
Excellent, color coded site. Click on a category and select a time
period to see a list. The site also is connected to a comprehensive world
history text written by Frank Smith Categories: people, history, events,
maps. Color code: Science, Technology, Economy and Discovery; Culture,
Philosophy, Art, Music and Poetry; Religion and Theology; Politics and
War. There is also a maps section. Click on maps and then access the index

of time--from antiquity to midieval to modern.

weaves history and geography together.
Chico High School Librarian’s Links
http://dewey.chs.chico.k12.ca.us/socsci.html
This is an extremely well developed site for all areas--not just social
studies-- for teachers and for students. These are primarily American and
World History links at the address above, but take the “socsci.html”
off, tap your return key, and it will back up one level to much, much more.
A very useful site. Thanks to Pat St. Peter for bringing attention to this
site.
Score History and Social Sciences Page
http://score.rims.k12.ca.us/
Other topics exist here, lots of things for teachers and for those
who want to develop curricululm. A particularly strong section, and one
rather simply organized for ease of use, is the lessons
by grade level page.
Timeline
http://arcturus.pomona.edu/timeline/timeline-americas.html
This site actually is called “Timeline China” but I left the second
title word off since it has nothing to do with China as the title might
suggest. It's a list of major events in Mesoamerica, starting with the
appearance of agriculture in 5000 BC and ending in 1519 AD when Cortes
arrived in Mexico. I can not always “wake up” the server when I try reach
this site however.
The History Guide (study skills in History for students)
http://www.pagesz.net/~stevek/guide/guide.html
This is a student’s guide to the study of history. It is written by

student to the study of history. There also are skills tips such as how
to write an essay, how to read history and much more.

http://score.rims.k12.ca.us/grade6/index.html
This is a must see site for everyone!
This excellent, highly developed site may the most useful site listed
for teachers as well as students. For teachers, it has standards for the
Ancient Civilization unit for 6th grade which are very specific by civilization.
There is also a table of resources and activities along the same lines.
When students click on the table they are provided with a specific set
of site which have been selected for their matching to the standards. Teachers
get a similar service--a set of sites with information about the degree
of graphic content and what standard part it match up with in the unit.
There are also on line maps. Just a very thorough site.
