Sixth graders examine the factors that influence the stability of ecosystems. They construct a miniature ecosystem in a jar that includes plants, small fish, and snails, record the population changes over a period of four weeks, and...

Students identify and classify populations of pests in the home, school and community. They recognize the specific conditions needed for the survival of an organism considered a pest and list tactics for control measures.

Students study why dams are built and what is affected by them. They build model dams and explain how dams can be a detriment to paddlefish population.

Students examine immigration. In this Oregon history lesson, students compare and contrast the population patterns of the state in the 1800's and the 1900's.

Students collect data on population growth. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.

Students use population density and other statistics to compare countries. They find the population density for the countries listed in the table. Students compare findings with a partner, and then share with the class.

In this predation or starvation worksheet, students read about the effects of the wildlife service bringing in predators (wolves) to control a deer population. Students calculate the change in the deer population from 1971 to 1980. They...

Students investigate the global population explosion, by comparing India's and China's population control efforts and results. They interpret the UN's Human Development Report, and conduct research on another highly-populated country.

Students explore the population explosion. They view a video depicting the exponential growth of human population. Students research the internet to project future population data. They perform hands-on, multimedia activities to study...

Students explore population growth. They calculate how long it takes a country's population to double in size and to investigate factors affecting growth rate. In addition, they list of factors they think might affect growth rate
