Elementary students and Secondary students who have introductory level information needs will find what they are looking for at Gale's Kids InfoBits.Full text reference and articles are available for searching via a graphical interface or textbox searching.  Articles can be saved in a knapsack, printed or emailed. 

Teachers can also use this information to find new science experiments, reading passages, up to date images and even research outlines to start projects.

Results are sorted in Reference, Magazine, Newspaper, Maps, Charts and Images tabs, making relevant results even easier to find.
