The Ultimate List of Research Websites for Kids

The Ultimate List of Research Websites from Muse of the Morning

I love the spirit of sharing that is out there in the online homeschooling community. You can make a whole curriculum pretty much for free with just online resources. It’s a pretty awesome thing. I love sharing these Ultimate Lists- I try to make them as comprehensive as possible. Remember you can always tell me if you know of any more resources for any of the topics.

The idea behind this post is to put as many resources in one place for kids to research the different topics that they are interested in. If you like, you can even direct them to this post to give them a starting point for their research.
