Young scholars examine population information from East Asian countries. Using a specified website, pupils explore the population of China, Japan, North Korea and South Korea. Classmates examine the population density compared to the...

High schoolers are divided into groups, each group goes to a randomly selected area of the field. They lay out a one square meter plot. Using string to mark the square. Students identify some sort of vegetation that is easy to count...

The clear cartoon style slides in this presentation contain details that affect population growth. Natural disasters and other external factors are listed as density independent factors, and density dependent factors, such as competition...

Students locate an area of marsh and, by measuring the total number of individual plants in a sample area, determine whether purple loosestrife population density is correlated to the total plant diversity of the community. They...

Students develop critical thinking and awareness about the complexity of natural resource use, wealth distribution, population densities, poverty, and the environment. They think about people living in different parts of the world and...

Learners are focused on the big question: What makes a population grow and how could that growth stop? They use these concepts to help answer the big question: carry capacity, density dependent v. density, independent factors, predation...

Students investigate population dynamics such as variation in density of females, composition of food sources an environmental factors such as light and temperature on Drosophila. They then relate their findings to human populations and...

Students visualize census data on a map and use a map key to read a population map. In this census instructional activity, students use a map of the Virgin Islands and corresponding worksheets to gain an understanding of population...

Students practice reading a map. In this mapping lesson, students illustrate a map and compare and contrast the counties based on their population. Students also explore what a census is and read census data on a map. A student...

Fifth graders use various strategies to find the area of land, the area of forestry and the population of Japan and the US. In this size per unit lesson, 5th graders explore how to figure ratio. Students draw pictures to...

Students examine the world population data using MyWorld GIS software and compare and contrast the population characteristics of countries around the world. Students summarize their findings in a report.

Students are introduced to some of the fundamental questions about the connections among population, resources and energy use, and environmental impacts. They explore population growth, interpret a line graph and calculate their own rate...

Pupils use scientific methods to investigate the effects of overpopulation of seed plants on growth in a limited living space. Students relate seed plant population findings to that of other organisms.

Tenth graders explore slavery in the U.S. by researching the web. In this U.S. history lesson, 10th graders identify the geography of Connecticut and the overall involvement the state had in the slavery process. Students view data of the...

Students write and or present a report contrasting geographic and demographic features (e.g., average annual income, population density, mortality rate, literacy rate) of countries where the target languages is spoken to the U.S. They...

Students develop a population density visualization chart to begin the lesson. In groups, they use this information to compare to rates of carbon emissions for their country. They identify solutions to the problem and present their...

Students investigate matter. In this physical science lesson plan, students will learn about matter, physical states, and reactions. There are a series of four lab activities that will be conducted.

Students engage in a research question of finding the effect of population density upon the use of land in a physical area. They also find the effect of how this can effect the lifestyles of the people who live there.

Students compare population distribution and density railroad network in 1878, identify areas of expanding population density, and evaluate geographical and economic factors that influenced railroad expansion in late 19th century United...

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 explore Earth's biosphere. In this biosphere activity, students participate in group activities regarding biotic and abiotic factors, population density, and species' habitats.

Students estimate the density of a population of insects (grasshoppers) at a given life cycle stage in a given type of habitat.

Students explore the effects of population growth in Arizona.  In this history lesson, students work in small groups to create a "perfect" city. Activities include examining the Arizona census results then discussing the importance...

Students examine food production related to population density. In this interdisciplinary lesson plan, students gather data regarding food production in the American South and in India. Students follow the outlined steps to calculate the...
