- As always, I suggest you
begin your web research with my favorite homework help site from
Multnomah County Library System. If you have not yet memorized
the main page of this website -- http://www.multcolib.org/homework
-- I advise you do so now.
- Along with Wikipedia, this is one of the most
useful URLs you can possibly memorize for middle school research
projects. Below, I have listed links to the pages within the
Multnomah homework help web site that have to do with exploration.
