**Most of our social studies textbooks are NOT online.  The only one available is the Economics text (https://1.cdn.edl.io/OgagGVZ2cxT19FB3uTRB41k5TZXJwSewzM3dodOc6Cc5mdz1.pdf), and it is a different edition than what we have at school. Just be aware some of the page number may not be the same as the page numbers on your assignments.  Look for the Chapter and Section numbers to be accurate. 

 

Here are some other social studies related websites you may find interesting!

 

Geoguessr (https://www.geoguessr.com/) Geography games. My favorite is the World Map, where you are dropped off somewhere in the world.  Your task is to explore, look for clues, and try to guess where you are!
