K-8 Resources | World Culture:

 

	United Nations Cyberschoolbus View information about member nations, take a virtual tour, explore issues of human rights relating to children or take quizzes and play games to help you learn about the countries of the world. Interactive and well designed for school-age children.
	POPClock Projection  A daily update of the U.S. population by the U.S. Census Bureau.
	NationalGeographic.com Kids!  National Geographic’s site for young readers is one of the best resources for information on the Net about the world, its people, and its wildlife.
	Multi Cultural Calendar If you want to know about scattering beans in Japan in January this is the site to visit. The entries might contain recipes for holiday foods, historical background, significance of the holidays, and the special ways in which these days are observed. The entries are contributed by children, so they are rich in local customs that perhaps could not be found as easily in books.
	InfoNation Choose two countries and the site will compare them statistically, economically, and more.
