This week's category is quite a broad one, but try to consider this in terms of school projects and what would be best for kids at various age levels to use. Suggestions for both hardcopy and online resources are encouraged. Please give us your thoughts!

Question #17: Where can I find information on Native American tribes?
JPL is fortunate to have quite a few good volumes on this very subject in our hardcopy collections. Tell us about the ones you have used and if your prefer one over another. Also, or course, let us know about any online resources you may have come across. Please give us your thoughts!

Question #16: Where can I find information on the ways of life of different cultures in history (clothing, diet, etc.)?
Unlike the Science Fair project books from last week, the books for this week's subject could be found all over the collection. Give us some ideas where as well as sources of information online and in the JPL databases. Please give us your thoughts!

Question #15: Where can I find Science Fair project ideas categorized by material and/or subject?
We kind of had an education theme last month and we're going to continue this in September, but we're going to tackle specific subjects and projects. This week: The dreaded Science Fair. Well, it was at least dreaded for me as that was never my strong subject, but I'm sure there are some of you out there that really did some awesome stuff with ten square feet of aluminum foil, a large funnel, some rubber bands and a live hamster (let you're imagination run wild with that one).
And that's kinda what we're looking for this week: sources for science project ideas. This is definitely a shelf that we have memorized by now, so I'm also looking for online resources. If these sources have project ideas divided by topic and material (a common customer request in my experience), even better. Please give us your thoughts!
