PBS LearningMedia provides trusted, free, high-quality resources organized into subject-specific collection pages that can be filtered by grade and subtopic within social studies. Social studies resources include short videos, lessons and interactive games. PBS LearningMedia‘s online library of resources is here to help your students keep learning!

We’ve listed all of the social studies collections in PBS LearningMedia for easy use. Find a featured collection and suggested learning activity to get you started. Note that all resources can be shared to Google Classroom, emailed or posted to a website.

Start by creating a FREE PBS LearningMedia account to access all the features. You can use the Lesson Builder Tool to add instruction or discussion questions to resources. For example, you can find a lesson about how World War I affected the United States, France, Great Britain, and Germany (and why it was such a challenge for Woodrow Wilson to orchestrate a just peace) that guides you through the process of engaging students virtually. 

Need support for getting started with PBS LearningMedia? Join us for a weekly training webinar Wednesdays at 7:30am PDT. Register
