rsloan666 — 2017-10-16 18:01:04 UTC

- be able to define population distribution
- be able to define sparsely and densely populated
- provide examples of sparsely and densely populated countries
-calculate the population density for a country
- use a density (choropleth) map to describe patterns of the world and Ireland's population
- give reasons (physical and human factors) to explain population density
-create a KeyNote showing areas which are sparsely and densely populated in the world and reasons to explain

Where do people live?

Population distribution and density

Watch this video to introduce the 2 concepts. Take down facts you have learned.

What is population density?

rsloan666 — 2017-10-16 19:00:27 UTC

1. Take these notes into your book

The number of people living in an area is called population density

2. Complete the definitions for sparsely and densely

rsloan666 — 2017-10-16 19:01:33 UTC

When there are very few people living in an area it is described as being sparsely populated.

When there are lots of people living in an area it is said to be densely populated.

3. Complete the page in your booklet. decide if each match is sparsely or densely populated, even or uneven distribution

Load this really cool link!!!
It will show you density for all parts of Northern Ireland.
Task- Where is density the highest? Give a reason.
Where is density the lowest? Give a reason.
Find the area where you live and describe the density.

Look at the 2 images

rsloan666 — 2017-10-16 19:52:06 UTC

THINK, PAIR, SHARE- Where are these places? What are people doing here? Why is it like this? Would you like to live here?

Why are some places crowded and others empty?
