Challenge #6 Ebsco

1) I chose the topic of "restless legs" to explore in the science and biology area.  I found several articles on what it is, what are the causes, and some of the medications to use.  I also found an article that thought a certain gene carried this ailment and that means that it is inherited.  I didn't have any problems finding information.
2) I had a terrible time finding much of anything on Constitution Day.  I didn't see any books, but in the Kids Search and Student Research Center I found several articles in magazines on the topic.  There were articles in Weekly Reader, Scholastic News and Christian Science Monitor.
3)When I looked for western history I found many books on native Americans, the different tribes, their culture, literature and leaders.  I also found books on the buffalo, frontier armies, Rapid City Indian School, Father Desmet, Buffalo soldiers, the orphan train and the Sioux Wars. 
I think this was the most frustrating search for me!
