Population

 Today's schedule

With the spread of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, dramatic changes began to occur in the populations of industrializing countries. But do the changes that occurred in Western Europe and the United States have relevance for modern countries just entering the industrial age? Students should be able to evaluate and apply models to explain changes in global demographic patterns, and use their assessments to predict future needs.

Objectives:

To understand the classic demographic transition (DT) model

To explain assumptions and limitations of the classic DT model

To construct graphs of contemporary demographic change

To explain contemporary demographic patterns in the context of the classic DT model

Rationale - Students current understanding of the global population growth and its effects on available resources is very limited. This unit will allow students to acquire information to help understand the challenges countries face when it comes to population controls

Evidence - By correctly listing the challenges countries have the different solutions offered to solve those challenges, will allow students to demonstrate evidence that their know the challenges facing their future.

Journal Entry: How many kids should each family have? Should there be any factors that would allow there to be a restriction put on the number a person could have? if so, what are those restrictions?
