Click the image above to see Mrs. Steele's chart that compares the "Quick Facts" for the entire world and for the United States.
The CIA World Factbook is a great resource for Quick Facts data about countries. This would include countries' GDP, life expectancy, literacy rate, infant mortality rate, population density, poverty rate, etc.
This is a great online encyclopedia to which JPS subscribes, but sometimes the link doesn't "stick" on our computers. If you click the link and only see three World Book products (Kids, Early World of Learning, and a Spanish encyclopedia), click
"Find Your School or Library" near the globe in the top, right corner of the page. Choose the first school on the list. Then, you should see many products including World Book Student, which is what you want. This is a great resource for finding government and climate information about your country in sixth grade friendly language.
