Population

In this lesson, we will be starting a new topic all about population! We will consider how many people there are on the planet, how this has changed and where populations are distributed.

In this lesson, we will examine how population has changed over time, how birth rates and death rates affect population, and how the population of the UK has changed.

In this lesson we will be exploring a new type of graph called a population pyramid. These special graphs help us to see what the breakdown of a population is in terms of gender and age.

In this lesson we will explore how rapidly growing populations in certain areas can present challenges, especially around infrastructure and resources.

In this lesson we will learn about informal settlements, sometimes known as 'slums', where almost a billion of the world's population lives. We'll consider how and why slums emerge and develop, the challenges faced by people living in them, and some of the ways these challenges are trying to be overcome.

In this lesson, we will be learning all about places which have more older people than younger people. We call these ageing populations, and they can present some challenges, which will be explored.

In this lesson, we will learn all about food production, food distribution and food waste. With a growing global population, we will explore how we can meet the demand this places on food.

In this lesson we will take a closer look at the population of the UK, and look at where people live in different places. We'll study how the population of the UK has changed over time, and what the population of the UK is projected to be like in the future.

In this lesson, we will start to write an essay about the world's population, and some of the challenges that we face with a growing and ageing population. This will be an excellent chance to revisit all of the key themes and ideas from the unit, and allow you to organise and apply your knowledge.

In this lesson, we will be continuing to write a essay about the world's population, and some of the challenges that we face with a growing and ageing population.
