I found this a very useful overview of Ada Lovelace's life and studies. It is appropriate for 3rd and up, I think, as a resource for a biographical study or just personal interest. It includes several primary sources, a modest glossary, timeline, and bibliography, and a few resources for further research on Lovelace.
