Investigate a Pivotal Period in American History
From 1861–1865, Americans battled over preserving their Union and ending slavery. The Civil War is the focus of this section of The Price of Freedom: Americans at War, an online exhibition from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. This pivotal and complicated period of American history is divided into sections that allow students to focus on either a specific aspect of the war or the conflict as a whole. The sections included are John Brown, Fort Sumter, the Battle of Bull Run, major turning points, the war at sea, Wilderness to Appomattox, political leaders, military leaders, soldiers in blue and gray, battles and casualties, and Reconstruction and the legacies of the war.

Rock Around the World
Mars scientists are asking students from around the world to help them understand the red planet. Send in a rock collected by you or your students from your region of the world, and the Mars scientists will use a special tool, like the one on the rover, to tell you what it’s made of. Then everyone can compare their rocks to the ones found on Mars. The scientists will post a picture of your rock on the Web and give you a report on what kind of rock it is. They will also send you an official certificate and Mars sticker for your contribution.
