Here are some links to get you started with your research...these are by no means the only websites/resources you can use, but they are a good place to begin!
http://greece.mrdonn.org/ A good general resource with links for education, religion, myths, Olympics, wars, you name it. Probably best for all of you to start here!
http://www.ancientgreece.com/s/Main_Page/ Another excellent source with information on most of your project topics. Another must-visit site for this project!
http://www.chiddingstone.kent.sch.uk/homework/Greece.html Yet another excellent resource with multiple uses!
http://www.crystalinks.com/greece.html Many links with headings you will appreciate. Also check this Greek culture link: http://www.crystalinks.com/greekculture.html
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/primaryhistory/ancient_greeks/ This is a site for kids but still has good information. Plus, it's put out by the BBC so you know it's legit!
http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/greeks/ Another kids' site that has lots of good information.
http://www.ancientgreece.co.uk/menu.html This is an interactive website from the British Museum, a large museum in London that has many Greek Artifacts!
Hopefully this gets you well on your way to answering your questions and completing your project! If you are struggling to answer a certain question, please don't hesitate to ask and I will help you find a good site to use to answer that question!
Remember to avoid sites like Wikipedia, Answers.com, Yahoo! questions, or other similar questionable sites. Remember also that I will not accept your project without a works cited page!!
Here is the rubric I will be using to grade you:
