World Geography

If you hear a place in the news — Ukraine, the West Bank, the Congo, Taiwan — it helps to know where it is, what borders it, what languages are spoken, and what daily life can be like. Here are a few reliable starting points. (Tip: for any big topic, it’s smart to compare more than one source.)

CIA World Factbook Country profiles: maps, people, economy, geography UN Data Global statistics across many UN sources World Bank Data Charts + indicators by country (population, health, more) Our World in Data Easy-to-read charts on the world’s big questions National Geographic Education Geography lessons, maps, and classroom-friendly resources Google Earth (Web) Explore the planet in 3D — zoom from space to streets

Want a quick classroom activity? Pick a country, find it on a map, then learn three things: one place (a city/landmark), one language, and one way people help their community.
