Grades 3-12, with parental supervision
This site is an archive of resources for learning about geography. Young children may also enjoy aspects of this site with parental assistance.
When you get to the site, use the menu to explore:
- Historical Global Weather – Data from 1763!
- Climate – Learn all about the climate and temperature of different countries, as well as the geological aspects that contribute to the climate.
- Flags – See the colorful flags of every country.
- Maps – Get maps of the countries of the world, including population maps, world language maps, earthquake maps, time zone maps, and more!
- Countries of the World – Learn about the history, population, geography, economy, transportation, communications, education, religion, government, and military in every country. Find out which countries are the “greenest” and the most livable places on earth. (Much of the information at this site is from the CIA’s factbook.)
You’ll also find photos, nautical charts, and airport codes here too.
Don’t miss reading the archived publication “Early Childhood: Where Learning Begins – Geography” which provides simple activities and ideas on how to teach geography to young children. The direct link to the publication is here.
