I explored by searching lots of terms. I first explored the site by typing my hometown of Freeport, ME. I found my high school, Freeport High School, circa 1925! I also found a map of the town of Freeport, circa 1740, and a photograph of Pettengill Farm, a famous farm in Freeport, from 1920. I never new that my town had a website for our historical society! There was also a whole online exhibit for L.L. Bean's corporate archives. I also looked up some other things, like biology, science, and microscope, but I didn't get many results that I felt were relevant.
Freeport High School, circa 1925:
How could you use it in your class:
I believe that history does belong in science, but I was unable to find anything on the Maine Memory Network that I could add to my curriculum. Maybe I could talk about population decline in the early 1900's due to trappers and show pictures of them. I would really rather talk about historical figures in science, like Darwin, or Greg Mendel, or Marie Curie. Maybe I could look up the town in which I end up teaching in and look up some local ecology or local species and find pictures of those.
