some general sites here, but lots that are particular to government and other US history topics. Good for all three grades, but especially grade 7 and 8.

This is from the National Archives. It has a collection of primary sources to use as well as ways to use them.
Good Revolution stuff for Grade 7, including a timeline activity that has kids put primary sources in order during the Pre-Revolutionary period. There is also an interesting pre-made activity on the difference in Civil War Recruiting posters. -
