Collapse: Why Do Civilizations Fall? (High School Level)
This site explores the collapse of four ancient civilizations: The Maya, The Anasazi, The Mesopotamian and the
Mali empires. Visitors can collect and analyze evidence, much like an archaeologist does, for the causes of these civilizations'
declines. "Garbage-ology" is also featured (where one sees what trash reveals about a society). Site makes connections between
what finished off these civilizations and the problems facing modern society; will history repeat itself? From Annenberg/CPB.
The Crime Library Website
This site explores the minds & methods of the most dangerous criminals from the past & the present. If
you or you child like to learn about what makes the mind of a criminal tick or even like the science behind finding the criminals,
you will want to check out this site.

contains photo for some of the crimes. I recommend it for the high school or older, but you can decide what is best for your
children.
