Population Distribution

Objective: explore population distribution

Outcomes:

a. Compare your graph with a partner - how do they differ? why?

b. Now compare your graph with a correct graph of global population - how do they differ?

c. Bullet point reasons why population has increased.

2. Search for two maps - one showing population distribution, one showing population density. Now compare and contrast.

3. Identify the factors that influence the pattern of global population density and distribution you have identified. Share your list with a partner - what do you notice? Can you classify your list?

4. Now answer the following question:

• Explain the global distribution and density of world population

Plenary:

Do you believe that physical or human factors have the greatest effect on population density and distribution?
