Fact for Me! This is a research website that is geared toward younger students. The upper grades can use it for your students who are not on grade level or those who just need the information in easier terms. There are also great pictures you can save and use in projects. The goal was to create a child-friendly, child-safe site; a site with accurate and interesting information that would stimulate emergent readers in either a school or family setting; a site written on the second or third grade reading and comprehension levels that would appeal to primary, special ed and ESL students. http://www.facts4me.com/facts_users.html
