Population Dynamics Project

Good morning, everyone.


YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TODAY is to make certain you are working.  Text me if you have questions.  The teacher in the room today will make certain attendance is done,  walk around to make sure you are on-task, and will let me know if you are off-task.   I TRUST YOUR ABILITIES.


  1. Make sure you have contributed to the quick topic on Friday's blog post before doing anything else.  Your answers should be related to the countries you chose and their biomes.
  2. Choose either the country that has an expansive population pyramid or the constrictive population pyramid.  Find out more about your country by looking at the CIA Factbook, UNESCO, and the World Food Programme
  3. Decide what you would do to move this country towards a sustainable population.  This could be tax incentives, water treatment, medical treatment, world food programs, birth control, education, or something else.  Remember, people in general are not stupid, but you have more education, right now, than a large proportion of the world.  How can you make their lives better while still honoring their culture and religious traditions?
  4. Set three short-term goals for the next five years and three long-term goals for the next 10 years.   Explain how each one of them will help you meet your objective.
Put all your materials together, with highlighting or explanation as appropriate, and be ready to hand in tomorrow.

Points:  Creativity of solution (10), Connections to biomes (5), Honoring of culture and traditions (5),  quality of goals in helping stabilize the population pyramid (10)
