1. This some Key slides from Population Unit
You should have most of this already in your notes

2. Demography 
the study of population patterns and change
Population
all the people of a particular area
birth rate
the number of births each year per 1,000 people
Example:
Birth rates are used to calculate population growth
death rate
the number of deaths each year per 1,000 people
Death rates are used to calculate population growth.
Subtract estimated death rate from Birth rate what do you get?

3. Population density
the number of people in a defined area such as a square mile
Demographers refer to this as calculating ‘population density
population distribution
the pattern, or spread, of people in a given area
Demographers study not only the population density of a region but also population distribution.

4. Draw two conclusions about the population of the United States based on the map

5. Possible answers
Some areas of the U.S. are much more densely populated than others.
There are more people in the eastern U.S. than the western U.S.
Coastal areas are heavily populated.
There are areas of the U.S. where the population density is less than 1 person per square mile.
The average population density of the U.S. is about 88 people per square mile.

6. What other factors may influence the distribution of people besides geographic factors. Discuss
Major factors
economic factors such as the availability or lack of jobs and political factors such as the stability or instability of governments.

7. Census
the periodic count of a nation’s population by its government
What things affect the birth rate or the death rate in a place?
How have birth and death rates changed over time?
Why do birth and death rates matter?
natural increase” is the term demographers apply to the difference between birth and death rates. the birth rate minus the death rate “Calculating Natural Increase”

8. Calculating Natural Increase
Directions: Calculate the natural increase per year, day and minute for each column below.

1. What conclusions can be drawn from the data?
2. What implications does this data have for the world?

9. Describe this map. why do you think the map is so distorted
Describe this map. why do you think the map is so distorted. What is the purpose

10. a ‘cartogram.’
A type of map used to present statistical information's
possible answers cartograms energy use, wealth, etc

11. Terms to Know More developed nations
A country with a highly developed economy, including significant industry and technology.
less developed nations
fairly poor country with an agriculturally-based economy
demographic transition theory/model
describes the stages countries go through as birth and death rates change over time
What is a theory?????
Who's population is growing faster? Who has a larger population?

12. Should know stages of Demographic transition theory/model
Source:
Demographers have developed a theory or model that illustrates stages countries tend to go through as birth and death rates change over time due to a series of social and economic factors.
