List: Where Is the World’s Population? Largest Countries in Land Size 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Largest Population Countries 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Lesson 1b: Population Density Population Density: the number of people living per unit of an area (e.g. per square mile); divide the amount of land by the number of people Geographic features that affect population: * High – along water * Low – too cold, too hot * Low – mountains, high elevation * Low – too dry, too wet
6
Scale Matters: South America Population Density
7
Brazil Population Density

Lesson 2a

Lesson 3a: Demographic Vocabulary Demographics: statistics about population Total Fertility Rate: The average number of children born alive to a woman in her lifetime Infant Mortality Rate: # deaths of babies under age one per 1,000 births in a given year Literacy: ability to read and write
10
Death Rate: # of deaths per 1000 people in a year Birth Rate: number of live births per 1,000 in a year. Rate of Natural Increase: Percent population is increasing /decreasing in a year Replacement-Level Fertility: two children per woman, replaces mother and father
11
Lesson 3b Highlight 3 highest one color and 3 lowest another color (Infant Mortality, Literacy, Fertility) What are connections you notice between the demographics? When one is higher is another usually higher or usually lower? When one is lower, is another usually lower or usually higher Create 3 ‘If - then statements’ connecting the demographics (use words like high and low) and write them on your Daily Guiding Question response sheet.
12
Lesson 3c: Think-Pair-Share Think: Right below your 3 If/Then statements, change one if/then statement to a question that starts “I wonder why if …” and write a possible answer Pair: Choose one question between you and your partner and brainstorm a possible answer to one of the questions. Record the question an answer on the half sheet of paper with your names Pass the card to a new set of partners to write an additional response (names) Pass the card a second time for an additional response (names) Pass a third time for third response (names) Share - summarize the answers that make sense, share with the class
13
Lesson 3d: Demographics and Rate of Natural Increase Rate of Natural Increase Birth Rate - Death Rate = B B/10 = RNI Doubling Time 70/RNI = doubling time (round up)
14
Hmmmm If infant mortality is high, why is the fertility rate also high? If female literacy is high, why is the fertility rate low? Generally, why do countries with low RNIs have better economies?
15
Lesson 4a: Population Pyramid PowerPoint
16
1. What are Population Pyramids? bar graphs that show the percent or number of age and gender in a population
17
2. Two Types of Populations Old Populations Less than 25% under 15 More than 10% over 65 Young Populations More than 25% under 15 Less than 5% over 65
18
3. Dependency Ratio The number of people that are too young or too old to work, compared to the number of people in their productive years.
19
4. What are the uses of Population Pyramids? Can determine Future Growth or decline Future Growth or decline Marketing groups Marketing groups Housing Housing Politics Politics Education Education Jobs needed Jobs needed
20
Pyramid Shape: Growth Rapid: parents have an average of more than 4 children Rapid: parents have an average of more than 4 children
21
Stable - Slow Growth families have an average of two children for 2-3 generations
22
Pyramid Shape: Negative Growth people are not replacing themselves in the population for 2-3 generations
23
Lesson 6b: Silent Spring Read each paragraph and record the main idea (what was the purpose of the paragraph, why did the author write the paragraph) Go back and choose one statement you had a reaction to - record this statement on your notecard one one side. On the other side, record your reaction (think, feel, wonder, etc) Small group Compare main ideas from Silent Spring reading Compare main ideas from Silent Spring reading One person reads her/his notecard statement out LOUD One person reads her/his notecard statement out LOUD Each person comments on the statement Each person comments on the statement Original writer reads the statement s/he wrote Original writer reads the statement s/he wrote As a group, decide why the article is titled Silent Spring - you will share this with the class As a group, decide why the article is titled Silent Spring - you will share this with the class

Girls in India - Investigation Each article focuses on the issue of what is happening to girls in India. As you read the article, look for a very specific problem and how that problem is being addressed Each article focuses on the issue of what is happening to girls in India. As you read the article, look for a very specific problem and how that problem is being addressed Small Group on a separate sheet of paper T chart ProblemsHow it is addressed http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/rough/2007/04/the_missing_gir.html http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/rough/2007/04/the_missing_gir.html http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/rough/2007/04/the_missing_gir.html

Demographic Transitions – What happens to populations as they change as they grow, stabilize or decrease? Western Europe Model Yardstick – World Birth Rate and Death Rate
28
Lesson 10a: Demographic Transition Stages Stage 1 * high birth and death rates * population grows slowly * Before modern medicine
29
Stage 2 high birth rate, falling death rate high birth rate, falling death rate rapid population growth rapid population growth modern medicine arrives modern medicine arrives
31
Stage 3 Birth rate begins to decrease Death rate decreases further Population growth slows down
33
Stage 4 low birth and low death rate low birth and low death rate very slow growth or stable RNI very slow growth or stable RNI
34
Iceland
35
Stage 5 Birth rate is less than death rate for years negative RNI Causes Gender - women choose careers, men are not active parents Economics - childcare is too expensive
36
Romania
37
Population Reference Bureau 1.What is the difference between development levels? 2.What development level are the regions? 3.What stage are the regions in? Stage 2: 2% and up Stage 3: 1 - 1.9% Stage 4: 0 -.9% Stage 5: negative

Lesson 11a Step 1: Determine the Stage each country is in Step 2: Small Group - record the information for your group’s assigned three demographics
41
Lesson 11a: Step 3 Look at each demographic and determine what is happening to countries in the stages by comparing them to each other Is Stage 2 is highest/lowest Is Stage 2 is highest/lowest What happens in stage 3 (increase/decrease/) What happens in stage 3 (increase/decrease/) Is stage 4 highest/lowest Is stage 4 highest/lowest Add these to the notes on Lesson 10a
42
Reflection Answer the following using information from Lesson 10a, complete sentences and correct grammar. Write your response on a separate sheet of paper. You live in the United States of America, a Stage 4 country. Based on the demographics from Lesson 10a, what does this mean for your life? How would your life be different if you lived in a Stage 2 country?
43
1. What is a country that is definitely in stage 2? 2. Beginning of stage 3? 3. End of stage 3? 4. Stage 4? 5. Stage 5?
45
Lesson 12a: Migration Vocabulary Migration: movement by humans from one area to another, sometimes over long distances or in large groups
46
Pull Factors - Reasons why human move to an area Pull Factors - Reasons why human move to an area Push Factors - Reasons why humans leave an area
47
Rural - areas in the country associated with agriculture and low population density Rural - areas in the country associated with agriculture and low population density Urban - cities and towns, higher population density Urban - cities and towns, higher population density
48
Forced Migration - forcing people to move from their homes. Usually done by a government to take control of land or to move a group to one central location Forced Migration - forcing people to move from their homes. Usually done by a government to take control of land or to move a group to one central location
