Lesson 1b: Population DensityLesson 1b: Population Density

Population DensityPopulation Density: : the number of people the number of people living per unit of an area (e.g. per square living per unit of an area (e.g. per square mile); divide the amount of land by the mile); divide the amount of land by the number of peoplenumber of people

Geographic features that affect populationGeographic features that affect population::

* High – along water* High – along water

* Low – too cold, too hot* Low – too cold, too hot

* Low – mountains, high elevation* Low – mountains, high elevation

* Low – too dry, too wet* Low – too dry, too wet

Lesson 2aLesson 2a

Lesson 3a: Demographic VocabularyLesson 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

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

Lesson 3bLesson 3bHighlight 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.

Lesson 3c: Think-Pair-ShareLesson 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 answerPair: 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 namesPass 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

HmmmmHmmmm

If infant mortality is high, why is the fertility If infant mortality is high, why is the fertility rate also high?rate also high?

If female literacy is high, why is the fertility If female literacy is high, why is the fertility rate low?rate low?
