Civil Government

As part of our study of cities and famous people we will take a look at some popular government agencies.  We've all seen these agencies at work in movies and on the news.  Names such as the CIA, FBI, or the Office of the President are all familiar names.  We've also heard about the Governors Office, the United States Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives. However, do we really know what these departments of the government really do for us, or what it takes to become a member.

 Click here for an exciting website that explains many aspects of government to us.

For our specific lesson today we are going to learn about making laws and the different functions of the United States Representatives and Senators.  Follow this link to enter a website called: Kids in the House
