Free History Educational Materials
More than just Free Outlines, PowerPoints, Lesson Plans, Worksheets, Maps, and More for World History. These lessons are designed to get your kids EXCITED about how history impacts their lives today. Primary sources, history trivia, multi media and hands on crafts and activities take history from a dry text book to a living part of their lives. 
Most of these lessons were gathered and used successfully in a group setting (home school co-op) with kids ages 8 - 13. Additional older middle school and high school resources were used with students as part of their independent study program. 
Every attempt has been made to create a learning environment that is COMMON CORE FREE!* This means that these resources (created by talented teachers from 2000 to 2010) will no longer be used in public school settings. These free home school lessons are now considered greater treasures to impart knowledge that might otherwise be lost in a maze of federal mandates and testing requirements.
