Where do People Live? Learning Outcomes: All should: List examples of high/low density areas and be able to explain 2 or 3 examples. In addition, identify how a country copes with an increasing population. Most should: Identify range of examples and be able to use accurate factors affecting population density. In addition, explain the issues of a rapidly increasing population. Some could: Give reasons for a wide range of examples of global population density patterns. Evaluate the positive and negative benefits of a high population density. Competence: Team Work Key Words / Ideas Population Density = The number of people living in a certain area. Normally measured per square kilometre. Key Words: Ø Ø Ø Ø Ø Population Density Distribution Positive Negative Physical Economic Sparsely Densely

Where do People Live? Activity 2: Choose a proportional map symbol (e. g coloured circles) and a key to plot this data onto your blank outline maps of the world.
For example!!
Mini Plenary: How does this data relate to the http: //www. breathingearth. net/ learning outcome? Most should: Identify range of examples and be able to use accurate factors affecting population density. In addition, explain the issues of a rapidly increasing population.
Population Density Population density = the number of people area Plotting population density is a useful way to show crowded an area is. It measures the number of people living in a square kilometre. Key Words / Ideas Population Density = The number of people living in a certain area. Normally measured per square kilometre. Key Words: Ø Population, Density, Distribution, Positive, Negative, Physical, Economic, Sparsely & Densely
China • Population = 1 185 000 • Area = 9 326 410 sq. km. • Calculate the population density • Population density = 127 people per sq. km.
USA • Population = 263 563 000 • Area = 7 665 222 sq. km. • Calculate the population density • Population density = 28 people per sq. km.
Key Words / Ideas Population Density = The number of people living in a certain area. Normally measured per square kilometre. Key Words: Ø Population, Density, Distribution, Positive, Negative, Physical, Economic, Sparsely & Densely
Activity 3 • Using an atlas, locate areas 2 – 6 shown on your map. • Complete the table below: For each area decide whether it would be a high or low density and suggest why. Location High or sparse density Reason 1. Andes Low density Mountainous, Too steep and cold for farming
Activity 4 • In full sentences…. . Explain why there is a link between environmental factors and population density? • HINT: use the answers from the card sort to help in your thinking! Most should: Identify range of examples and be able to use accurate factors affecting population density. In addition, explain the issues of a rapidly increasing population.
Social & Economic reasons for population distribution • People live where their needs are met e. g. people live where they can grow crops! • Desert areas attract people for raw materials e. g. oil • London is a capital city, a centre for administration and a centre of commerce. • MEDC Population densities are higher in urban compared to rural areas. This is not the case in some LEDC’s
Extension • On an outline map of the world, shade the areas that are most suitable for people to live. • Use an atlas to find additional information, i. e. climate and relief. • Write a description of your map and explain how you decided on your areas.
