Newsround info very good. For S2 or S1

Rich and Poor countries list and help site

Look here at the Richard Allaway site if you are struggling to choose a country. This may solve your problems. Click the logo for the link.

Rich and Poor countries comparisons

This is a brilliant site with a lot of good starter information for the S2 projects on this topic. Remember to use the “idiots guide” also. Click the pigs!

S2 Countries Investigations

Good site here to use for a few last minute bits and pieces of information on your countries. Each country has a map and info to put into graphs for you to pick up extra marks eg population and area. The only thing I don't like is the fact that they have put temperature in a bar graph and this is wrong!!! It should, of course be a line graph - you could change this if you want to use this rather than the worlclimate.com site.

Brazil’s way of protecting the native Indians

Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya is the largest slum in Africa with a population of perhaps one million. The name "Kibera" is derived from kibra, a Nubian word meaning "forest" or "jungle."

S2 Investigations

Country profiles here from the BBC. These are a good starting point for your investigations but remember a lot more is needed! Look at your “idiots guide” and just follow the steps. EASY.
