REVIEW:
Ben's Guide to the U.S. Government explains how the government works and how to use the primary resources of the Government Printing Office. The site is divided into sections for grades K through 2, 3 through 5, 6 through 8, and 9 through 12. Each section contains age-appropriate information, including games and activities. An image map of the United States gives students access to Quick Facts about each state as well as information about the nation's capital. The site also provides a glossary and links to other U.S. government Web sites for kids.
