E.O.C. Assessment Information
•It remains to be seen how they will address skills questions, however, there is likely to be an assumption that students know certain truths about the world before they will be required to interpret demographic tools. Example: South Asia and China have the largest populations; Africa’s demography is impacted by pandemics / AIDS issues; etc. It is important for students to understand the skills that will be practiced in this section, but try to keep them in context throughout the year.
Each Topic is designed to take from 30-60 minutes of class time.
•Topic A – What is Demography
•Topic B – Human Settlement
Activity 9.2: Human Settlement – Choose an Assignment
•Topic C – Population Density Maps
Activity 9.3: Analyze Population Density Maps
Activity 9.4: Create Population Density Maps
•Topic D – Population Graphs
Activity 9.5: Population Pyramids
Activity 9.5: Creating Population Pyramids
Activity 9.6: Population Pyramid Quiz
Activity 9.5: Predicting Population Trends
Overall Objective: Students will understand the growth, distribution, movement, and characteristics of world population.
Other information:
•Population Pyramids as well as a wealth of other demographic data and tools are available on http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/idb/informationGateway.php
•Population Pyramids for many countries are included on the curriculum planner for use throughout the year as needed.

What is Demography?
![Page 6: Teacher Page E.O.C. Assessment Information It remains to be seen how they will address skills questions, however, there is likely to be an assumption that.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649e005503460f94ae8a5f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Demography
Complicated Topic?
What is Demography?
What is the difference between “demographics” and demography”?
There are some interesting tools that demographers sometimes use:
•Population Density Maps
•Population Pyramids and Graphs
![Page 7: Teacher Page E.O.C. Assessment Information It remains to be seen how they will address skills questions, however, there is likely to be an assumption that.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649e005503460f94ae8a5f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
FOUR KEY TERMS FOR DEMOGRAPHERS
Birth RateBirth Rate Life ExpectancyLife Expectancy
Literacy RateLiteracy Rate Per Capita IncomePer Capita Income
How fast are new babies being born into a population?
How long are people expected
to live?
How much money does the average person make?
What percentage of
people can read?
![Page 8: Teacher Page E.O.C. Assessment Information It remains to be seen how they will address skills questions, however, there is likely to be an assumption that.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649e005503460f94ae8a5f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
WHY ARE THESE TOPICS IMPORTANT IN DEMOGRAPHY?
BirthrateBirthrate Life ExpectancyLife Expectancy
Literacy RateLiteracy Rate Per Capita Per Capita IncomeIncome
The more babies that are being born, the
faster the population is likely to grow
If people live long then the population
is larger. Also, elderly people often have greater needs.
With more income, people can afford more
healthcare, and better food and medicine which helps people live longer.
Usually, societies with higher literacy rates have slower
population growth.

1. First draw a conclusion
2. Then, decide why the conclusion matters

First draw a conclusion then think about why it would be important . . .
•Which of these countries is most likely to need more doctors or more training for medical professionals?
•Which of these countries has the best health care system?

First Human Settlement
•What allowed people to finally settle in one place?
•Come on, use the big, scary vocabulary word!
•Before people figured out they could grow their food with seeds, people were nomadic. What does that mean?

BIRTH OF URBAN POPULATIONS
•Quick Review, what is another word for “urban”?
Is this statement true or false:
“There is no real reason why large cities form where they do, it just happens.”

Factors Influencing Where
People Settle
•Just as there are a lot of reasons why cities grow, there are a lot of reason why their population might decrease. Can you think of any reasons?
•There are also some basic reasons why people settle where they do or why they might move to a new location. These are usually some of the same reasons.
![Page 19: Teacher Page E.O.C. Assessment Information It remains to be seen how they will address skills questions, however, there is likely to be an assumption that.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649e005503460f94ae8a5f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Let’s play a game!!!
Factors that influencing
where people settle?
Bodies of Water
Geographic Barriers / Dangers
Access to Transportation
Technology
Economic Reasons
Natural Resources

Cultural RegionsChallenge Question: How do bodies of water still impact settlement today?
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND!!!
•The first civilizations formed near major rivers.
•As urban populations develop, the need for systems increases. (Example: Government, etc.)
•The industrial revolution increased the speed of urbanization.
•Towns and cities grow up around factories and other economic activities.
![Page 22: Teacher Page E.O.C. Assessment Information It remains to be seen how they will address skills questions, however, there is likely to be an assumption that.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649e005503460f94ae8a5f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

DOT MAPSThe map key or legend is very important for this type of map
Just because there is no dot, it does not mean there are no people there. = 100 people
Lets use this imaginary island of “Larry” to try to explain. Larry is a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean
with a very small population.
![Page 24: Teacher Page E.O.C. Assessment Information It remains to be seen how they will address skills questions, however, there is likely to be an assumption that.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649e005503460f94ae8a5f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
So on this map of the Island of Larry, each dot represents 100 people.
So this, is just easier to look at than something like this:
![Page 25: Teacher Page E.O.C. Assessment Information It remains to be seen how they will address skills questions, however, there is likely to be an assumption that.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649e005503460f94ae8a5f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Only five families live in
this small town, so it gets no
dot.
![Page 26: Teacher Page E.O.C. Assessment Information It remains to be seen how they will address skills questions, however, there is likely to be an assumption that.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649e005503460f94ae8a5f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
DOT MAPS
•Sometimes just understanding a little more about the area you are talking about helps you understand why the dots are the way they are.
•So, if it is not exact, what is the purpose of a dot map? What kinds of things can you determine from a dot map?
![Page 27: Teacher Page E.O.C. Assessment Information It remains to be seen how they will address skills questions, however, there is likely to be an assumption that.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649e005503460f94ae8a5f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Lets give it a try in AUSTRALIA
So where do you think all of the
people in Australia might
live?
Why is no on living in the
middle?
The Australians call non-urban areas in the center of the country
“The Outback”. Much of it is very desert-like.
![Page 28: Teacher Page E.O.C. Assessment Information It remains to be seen how they will address skills questions, however, there is likely to be an assumption that.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649e005503460f94ae8a5f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Population Density MapsMuch like the dot maps, other types of population density maps have a specific purpose. Think about the way the dots were used.

Patterns, Size and Distribution of CitiesPatterns, Size and Distribution of Cities
•Cities usually form for economic reasons
•Homes are built outside of this central area. These areas for homes are called “residential areas”.
•As the city grows other smaller towns / cities are formed around it for various reasons. These are called suburbs.
![Page 33: Teacher Page E.O.C. Assessment Information It remains to be seen how they will address skills questions, however, there is likely to be an assumption that.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649e005503460f94ae8a5f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Population MapsChallenge Question: Why is there a need for so many different types of population maps? THIS IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND!!!
•Population Maps come in different forms
•Dots on a population dot map usually only indicate large groups of people rather than just individuals.
•Many population maps use preset areas such as countries, states, counties, etc to generalize about population density.
•A single urban area may include a downtown area, residential area, and sub-urban area.

Does this scare you? Of all of a geographer’s tools, these things seem to scare people the most. However, with a few hints, you should
be ok with them.

Hint # 3: The reason its called a population pyramid is that the top will always get smaller
because people cannot live forever. There are almost never going to be as many 80 year olds
as there are 40 year olds.
