thowell Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 We went on a field trip to our historical state capital and now the kids are asking questions about the things they saw. They want to know the difference between the Senate and the House and the voting process on laws and all things related. What would be a good resource, to take a short break with, and cover these things while they are interested? Grades are from 2nd-5th so maybe somewhere in between. Thanks! (Oh, and the cheaper the better!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw that in the National Archives gift shop last week, and wrote it down for future use. It looked really good for those ages.
