2. Review  Population distribution  Ecumene  Population density

3. Construction of a Bar Graph

4. Calculating Population Density  Number of people / area of country = people/km 2

5. High Density: India  Area: 3 287 263 km2  Population; 1 134 403 000  Urban cities in India are densely populated.  High population density means that many farms are too small to allow rural families to achieve a decent standard of living.

8. Activity: Canada’s Population Density  Worksheet:  1. Create a bar graph  2. Answer the questions  3. Calculate the population densities and classify the countries as high, moderate or low
