Our goal is simple, allow users to create graphs online quickly. Create bar graphs, line graphs or pie charts. Simply paste your data in the graph data area and hit the create graph button. View our graph examples to find an existing graph image that you might want to use and modify. If you need more specific graph settings, click on the different graph types in the menu section.

"SHOW® is an online informational tool launched in May 2008 by Mapping Worlds. The website offers users a new way to look at the world by resizing countries on the map according to a series of global issues. SHOW® covers a wide scope of subjects based on datasets provided by the most authoritative sources in their fields. New subjects are periodically added, please feel free to send us your suggestions. SHOW® allows people to easily download datasets, maps and animations. These can be shared across the Internet through websites, blogs and email. SHOW® is an independent project, liaising users with data publishers, online press & media, and implicated world organisations across the globe."

"In order to make this "The Best…" list, the first kind of map-making site I described must be easy to use, allow any image to be inserted quickly from the Web (except for one), and host the completed map with a link and/or allow the map to be embedded. For the second kind, the site must be easy to use and have a fair amount of data already available to users of the site."

good site for demonstrating online Inquiry in a data base

from the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology. Animal Diversity Web (ADW) is an online database of animal natural history, distribution, classification, and conservation biology at the University of Michigan Animal Diversity Web Has * Thousands of species accounts about individual animal species. These may include text, pictures of living animals, photographs and movies of specimens, and/or recordings of sounds. Students write the text of these accounts and we cannot guarantee their accuracy. * Descriptions of levels of organization above the species level, especially phyla, classes, and in some cases, orders and families. Hundreds of hyperlinked pages and images illustrate the traits and general biology of these groups. Professional biologists prepare this part. Animal Diversity Web Is An Online Encyclopedia. ADW is a large searchable encyclopedia of the natural history of animals. Every day, thousands of classroom students and informal visitors use it to answer animal questions. Other sites specialize in local, endangered, or particular kinds of animals. We aim to be as comprehensive as possible. A Science Learning Tool. ADW facilitates inquiry-driven learning, that is, teaching about science by leading students to use the methods of science. Our large database is structured, providing consistent information for all species to foster comparisons. An advanced search tool allows a user to call up species accounts fitting any combination of descriptors. Students can explore for patterns and relationships, learn how to frame and answer scientific questions and, with the help of a good teacher, experience the excitement and satisfaction of doing science. Our long-term goal is to create a database rich enough that students can discover for themselves basic concepts in ecology and conservation biology.

This section presents some examples of statistics related to water. It is by no means complete at this point. UN-Water is currently working on the identification of a set of key indicators for the water sector that can be used at a global, regional and national level. The information on this page will be updated regularly to reflect the progress made in this area.

photos, maps and other media from the World Bank's water projects

The World Bank supports water management and extends water services through lending operations, sharing and applying knowledge, and our global programs. Our work is guided by our water strategies.

"The site allows the teacher or student to control how they are viewing the solar system. Users can touch and drag to move things around and they have a complete set of controls to change scale, speed of orbits (passing of time), or planetary object to follow. For example, if you follow the Sun, the Sun is stationary and it shows the other planets orbiting the Sun. If you follow the Earth, then it shows the other planetary objects with a stationary Earth."
