The 2010 Census offers teachers and students an opportunity to learn about a Constitutionally required activity and responsibility. Apportioning our government representatives depends on it!
The Census Bureau has produced and made available a lot of material that can be used for classroom instruction, as well as materials for student involvement. Available are things such as lesson plans, history lessons and "Facts for Features" that shed light on little known trivia and subjects.
This has all been made available in a nicely executed web page at the following URL:

The Bureau states that the materials will be continually expanded and updated through the Census. If you are a teacher or student, or know someone who is, please check it out. You might learn something useful and/or interesting.
