Use the Kids InfoBits database for information on weather, landforms, erosion, animal adaptations, and more.

The Encyclopedia Britannica is a good all purpose encyclopedia with articles written for elementary students.

Use the library catalog to find books in the school’s collection or to browse kid-friendly and grade appropriate websites.
