2. Population Jelly Babies (Golden Bears!) Learning Objectives: (to be able to…) 1.Gain an introduction and overview to population 2.Identify scenarios that increase and decrease the population 3.Explain why populations change What is population and how does it change?

3. By the end of the lesson By the end of the lesson you: MUST be able to list factors that cause population to change SHOULD be able to explain how different situations can cause population change MAY be able to link the examples used in the lesson to real life situations

4. What is population? Think, pair, share… Think about… How population increases How population decreases What type of people there are in a population

5. Feedback! Think, pair, share… What is population?

6. Feedback! Think, pair, share… How does population change? Increases populationDecreases population

7. Changing the population

8. Feedback! Think, pair, share… What type of people are in the population?

9. People in the population Cohorts include: Young people - also called young dependants Middle aged people - the workers/ economically active Older people - also called elderly dependants People are having to work for a lot longer, why? What will this do to the number of elderly dependants?

10. People are born…

12. People move in…

13. People move out…

14. …and we all get older every day…

15. The game… How will the population of your country change in response to a series of ‘chance’ events? By the end of the game you should be able to answer this key question… Why do some populations increase and others decrease?

16. The game… You will play the game 20 mins You will work in small groups Be sure to follow the instructions and read the chance cards carefully and in full to the group Fill in your sheets as you go and keep track of the game DO NOT EAT THE JELLY BABIES DURING THE GAME! They are your population!!

17. Before you start Groups of 5/6 Name your country Divide up the sweets Decide what sweet/colour represents what part (cohort of the population) Write this down Complete what your population structure is

18. You will play the game 20 mins You will work in small groups Be sure to follow the instructions and read the chance cards carefully and in full to the group Fill in your sheets as you go and keep track of the game

19. Now you’ve finished After you have finished the game and have completed your worksheets consider the following questions as a group? Which scenarios changed the birth rate? Which scenarios changed the death rate? Which scenarios changed the migration rate? Which scenarios were push factors of migration? Which scenarios were pull factors of migration?

20. Now you’ve finished Who do you think won? What makes them the winning country? Is it the country with the highest population or the most balanced population structure? What type of country do you represent?

21. Jelly Plenary Create 3 other situations that could go in the game as chance cards We can share these in a minute Make them original, interesting and plausible
