Ninth graders brainstorm "what they know about North Korea and South Korea." They determine the approximate distance from the United States to North and South Korea and create a graph comparing the birth rates, death rates, infant...

Did you know that birth and life rates vary across the world? The resource, the second in a six-part series, discusses just how demographics differ across countries and why it might be the case. Scholars complete worksheets, watch...

Students discover the world as a global community and the social implications. They construct graphs to represent data, interpret diagrams and draw inferences.Students create a report, which could lead to a class discussion.

Students research to find information about populations and complete world maps by labeling the current population, and determining the 10 countries with the largest population. They search the "World Population Data Sheet." On the third...

Young scholars analyze demographic data (growth rate, natural increase, fertility rate, crude birth rates, and crude death rates) and determine which areas of the world contain the fastest and slowest growth rates. They construct...

Life has its ups and downs ... especially if you're an animal! Biology scholars engage in a population study through an inquiry-based lesson. Pupils work together to explore the factors that affect deer populations, then examine the...

Young scholars use this lesson to focus on population growth and the threat of overpopulation. In groups, they analyze the world birth and death rates to determine the growth rate of the population. As a class, they discuss the causes...

Students explore descriptive writing by creating headstones. In this memorial instructional activity, students utilize an 11" x 17" piece of paper to create a cemetery headstone memorializing a word rather than a person. Students...

Students experiment with Drosophila to determine if density of female flies, food sources, temperature and light affect the population dynamics of growth. Students graph their data and compare their results to the number of human...

Students watch a video on population dynamics. They conduct an experiment where they fill up a designated space with students. They recreate multiplying rabbits using beans.

Ninth graders are introduced to the concept of population. In groups, they research the problems associated with overpopulation and underpopulation. They practice calculating birth and death rates and discus how they can be used to...

Tenth graders analyze the growth rate of different population. In this biology experiment, 10th graders identify the biotic and abiotic factors that limit population size. They create a poster to show their findings in class.

Students view the Dynamic POPClocks on the U.S. Census webpage and discuss their meaning. They explore age-related death rates of the human population and collect information about the deaths of humans and organize them into a life table.

Students define what population is in their own words. In this biology lesson, students explain different ways to measure population density. They interpret population graphs.

Students explain the different stages in the growth of a frog, then analyze and collect data to make generalizations about a larger population. They determine the survival rate of a population of tadpoles under controlled conditions.

Students are introduced to the views on sexuality in the United States. In groups, they research data from five countries and compare them with the United States. Using the information, they develop reasons why the teenage pregnancy...

Students study population distribution and survivorship curves by collecting data regarding age of death of humans from either tombstones, newspapers, or other community resources. Students analyze data by creating graphs and population...

Young scholars research a country to compare with the U.S. In this compare/contrast instructional activity, students research the CIA World Factbook research a European country's characteristics. Young scholars calculate growth rate and...

Young scholars explore and locate "The Stans" in Central Asia to create, write and illustrate maps, graphs and charts to organize geographic information. They analyze the historical and physical characteristics of Central Asia via...

As the reality of population decline across many species becomes real, pupils learn about the variables related to changes in populations. They complete a simulation of population changes and graph the results, then discuss limiting...

For this math worksheet, pupils describe the difference between a partial and an ordinary differential equation. They give examples of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd order differential equations. Students apply this information to predator/prey...

Students explain the significance of population trends on world regions. They define relevant population vocabulary and examine age-gender patterns at various scales.

Students formulate and evaluate suggestions about government policy using demographic examples and projections. They examine websites and utilize worksheets imbedded in this plan.

Students use the Internet to gather information on the country of Mexico. They also discover the culture of their people and compare them with the United States population. They take a virtual tour of some of Mexico's most historical ruins.
