Warm - Up Miniature Earth – If the population of the Earth were shrunk to just 100 people, but the proportions were kept the same, how many would speak English? How many would be Muslim? How many would have internet? How many people cannot read? This video will show us. dd345dab931/Miniature-Earth
POPULATION
Demography- study of population Census- survey of population, done every 10 years by the federal government
Population Density

What is Rate of Natural Increase? Rate of Natural Increase- % a population grows in one year Birth Rate minus Death Rate = Rate of Natural Increase
POPULATION PYRAMIDS
Complex Bar Graph What is shown? Males and Females by age Why? Demographers use age and sex to help predict info. about a country How do population pyramids work? Wide base = high % of children Narrow base = low % of children What is a Population Pyramid?
Making Predictions Look at the shape of these charts, and think about them. Then try to answer these questions on a separate paper. Which has a higher % of children? Which is most wealthy, most poor? Which has the most unemployed? Which probably has best health care? Which has most not going to school?
