SIRS Discoverer

In SIRS discoverer when looking up armadillos there are quite a few articles found. You could find the reading level, see if there are photos, activities to do and so on. I did find with this search that if you only had challenging checked that most of the articles had less about armadillos but the word armadillo could be found in the article. A great place for young kids.

When looking at countries you got a lot of information for doing reports and/or research projects. You can search anything from graphics to reading levels and subjects. The little quizes at the end of the articles are fun and helpful. The maps are amazing. I also looked at the US historical map. The timeline and information for each period is very useful.

SIRS Issues Researcher. I choose animal rights/animal cruelty. There are so many subjects related to this topic so a student should be able to find what they would need. There are also many tools to help you with your research. In the Curriculum Pathfinder it is interesting to see all the research ideas in one subject. In the health subject they covered anything from teenage pregnancy, abortion & birth control to depression & obesity. On the left hand side you could find different courses within this site. Wonderful research guide.
