Junior/Senior High is a time to begin to add depth to information/knowledge learned during the elementary years.  As such, students at this level are often engaged in research projects and learning activities which go beyond rote memorization.  Instead, secondary students are often asked to synthesize and apply information/skills from a variety of areas in order to demonstrate their learning.   The following sites can be especially useful to students at this level as they begin to specialize in their knowledge acquisition.
