Plant Science Chapter #1
It may not stand as a cohesive presentation, but individually you may find a use for these slides. One slide describes how civilization began once man learned to plant and harvest food. Another explores the population growth over time....

Some Similarities Between the Spread of an Infectious Disease and Population Growth
Students compare and contrast the spread of infectious diseases and population growth. In this biology lesson, students identify the exponential growth pattern of spreading diseases. They relate this to HIV infection and AIDS.

Population Growth
Students calculate human emission rate by year 2050. For this social studies lesson, students watch a video online and analyze population trends. They explain how e total emissions affect global climate.

Currents 2003
In this environment worksheet, students read an article about growth and development of population and the environment. They respond to various types of questions throughout the article packet pertaining to what they read and why.
Curated OER
Population Dynamics
Young scholars investigate the causes and consequences of population growth and the envrionmental factors that contribute to it. They discuss what they think the world's population will be in 2050.

Maintaining Strong Fisheries
Students play a game about the life cycle of a blue crab in order to witness the causes of changes in the crab population and discuss what a resource manager could do to keep a stable crab population. Students then create a game titled...

Understanding Groundwater & the Effects of Pollution
Students complete a unit on the effects of pollution on our water supply. They create a graph to examine the density of earth's land surface, round the population to the nearest hundred million place, participate in a...
Curated OER
Natural Resources: Getting a Fair Share?
Students explore the impact of human behavior on key components of the environment, examine how theirn own personal decisions have added to the problem, and explore possible solutions to the current ecological crisis.
Curated OER
Green Spaces
Learners map the green spaces around their school and predict the impact of population growth on green spaces in their region.
Curated OER
Population Patterns
Students study patterns of population growth in an ecosystem and why populations must remain in balance. They interpret basic population graphs and suggest scenarios about different population growth patterns in an ecosystem.

Filling Up Florida
Pupils study factors controlling Florida's population growth and related environmental impacts. They research natural community types and construct maps (including a large-sized map of Florida) to be used for a simulation activity.
Curated OER
Overpopulation vs. Overuse of Resources
Tenth graders identify the consequences of human population growth. In this biology instructional activity, 10th graders debate on whether overpopulation or overuse of resources is more harmful to humans. They write a reflection at the...

Demographic Changes in 19th Century England and Wales
Learners examine population in England and Wales during the period of 1801-1911. They calculate the percentage of population and how it changed from one census to the next in various towns. They record data on a spreadsheet and create...
Curated OER
Differential Equations and Population Growth
Students determine the size of the population at a given time. They calculate the time at which the population will be a given number. They observe how the population grows at the rate that is directly proportional to the number of...
