Today's site is Gapminder, an online collection of extremely interesting statistics that show the facts of the world. As they are today, but also as they have changed over time. Browse from many different comparisons such as average life expectancy vs. income per person and then "play" the information to see the change over time from the 1800's to today. Students are able to analyze the data, offer opinions, and closely examine the bubbles which represent the countries of our world.
Also check out the "For Teachers" tab that has quick links to the most educational uses of the site.
