Review: MysteriousPlaces seeks to give the visitor information, educational materials, and personal observations about the remains of ancient civilizations, sacred sites and unusual locations from around the world. Each area explored by Mysterious Places is confronted by challenges. Those challenges may include the consequences of uncontrolled development, the fury of natural forces, the horrors of war, the effect of rapid population growth, or the results of simple neglect. From the great pyramid in Egypt to tiny rock carvings in the desert, to the vast expanses of Antarctica there are clues to our past and future.

Posters of World War I

  
Mainly suitable for:
Foundation Stage - Preschool
Review: This site contains more than 400 posters created during the First World War. Most are American, although there are some British ones too. Entries for each poster are arranged in the following format: artist; title; publisher; date; printer; size; series number; edition size; and references (although some of this data is missing for some of the posters). The posters themselves are great, and if you've got a good colour printer would make a cracking display in the classroom, and can be used as a primary resource.

Review: History. This site could provide a novel way into the Great War through the air. It makes a change from the usual trench warfare sites. Actually the website for a society in the States, The League of World War One Aviation Historians, it has some fantastic images of planes from the First World War, both photographs and coloured artists impressions which teachers or pupils could use to illustrate their work/ resources. Would make a lovely classroom display by any age pupils.
