Fifth graders graph the number of Native American populations in Montana. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders read about the native populations of Montana and about the number of them living on reservations. They make a double bar graph showing the information and answer the essential questions on the back of the paper.
Eleventh graders explore population growth. In this Algebra II lesson plan, 11th graders develop several models for the growth of the world’s population. Students investigate the validity of each model in predicting past, current and future populations.
Explore the fascinating study of population growth using real-time online growth calculators, animated maps, and primary sources. Have researchers get out their notebooks and, preferably, one computer for each one or two learners. They investigate growth patterns through a WebQuest, which you should consider providing as a link so scholars can click on the URL addresses instead of type them in. The animated map may not work; however, there are other resources you can find to replace this. Scholars determine how many people have been born from the time they begin the assignment to the end, how many people were on earth the day they were born, and the population densities of various countries, among other things. Discuss the implications as a group, and consider requiring them to calculate population density instead of look it up.
Students graph the population of coyotes. In this coyote population lesson, students solve mathematical problems involving the population of coyotes. Students construct a bar graph to demonstrate results.
Learners investigate population trends. In this African American history lesson plan, students access U.S. Census records from 1900 to the present online. Learners analyze the migration of African Americans from one area of the U.S. to another.
Students examine the history of the Populist Party as it relates to its reforms and economic plight. In this Populism and the People's Party lesson plan, students explore why farmers experienced financial difficulty at the end of the century. Students work in groups to compare the railroad expansion map of 1870-1890 to the one of mining and cattle frontiers in 1870. Students discuss historical events that described one group of people taken over the authority of another group.
Young scholars are given a list of cities, asked to look up the population in the World Almanac, and write it in the first blank in standard form. Then they write each number in expanded form.
Learners collect data on population growth. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.
Students study populations throughout History.
High schoolers explore the effects of different density-dependent and density-independent factors on population growth. They explore how the interactions of organisms can affect population growth. Students explore the pattern of population growth and the predator-prey relationship.
