Populations

C period lab:
Today we spent the first half learning about populations and factors that can affect their size and distribution. You can download the PowerPoint from today's class here (because there are animations, it's not worth it to put it on slideshare).

We watched this TED talk from Hans Rosling.

In the second half of class, you worked on collecting data for Week 2 of the Eutrophication lab and read Module 181 (this module has been annotated for you).

Homework: Read Module 182.  This Module has NOT been annotated for you.

Human Population Growth

The past few days we have been watching selected clips from The 11th Hour and sections of Design e2 (posted below). How can we build for a sustainable future? What is our addiction to oil doing to the environment? How is population growth related to environmental problems?

Today students worked with population growth data to see how populations are growing (or declining) in certain countries. We also looked at the World Health Organization's Life Tables. Want to see how quickly the world population is increasing? Check out the population clock here.
For homework, finish the population data packet and study for your chapter 11 quiz on Monday.
