  1. Welcome to IGCSE Geography

  2. Theme 1 - Part 1 - POPULATION

  3. IGCSE GEOGRAPHY UNIT ONE: Population Think Starter What are the issues surrounding the current global population? Pair Share

  4. What are the issues surrounding population?

  5. The major issues… • Evening things out (are resources distributed fairly?) • ¾ of world population live in LIC’s • Cutting consumption (Who consumes what/the most?) • Top 20% consume 80% • Sparing the planet (population pressure = environmental pressure) • Deforestation – 1.4million acres per year! • Easing the flow of people (migration) • 1 in every 20 are refugees

  6. Globalpopulation growth What: Why is the global population growing? Why: We hope to explain past trends and accurately predict the future so we can plan for future issues. How? Graph, describe and give reasons for the rapid increase in the world's population.

  7. World Population clock Make a prediction on the following population features: 1. How many more people will there be in the world by the end of the lesson? 2. How many more people will be infected with the HIV virus? 3. How many species will have become extinct? 4. How many tonnes of CO2 will have been released? Write your predictions in your exercise book. We'll check back in an hour • http://www.poodwaddle.com/worldclock/pop/

  8. A world of figure...The world of 7 billion • Think, pair, share: • What have you learnt from this video? • What have you found interesting in this video?

  9. Task: Complete the population growth questions

  10. World population growth. • Objective: Graph, Describe and give reasons for the rapid increase in the world's population

  11. Using historic and future global population growth describe the overall pattern of global population growth (4). • Success criteria: • Data response question from a graph: • Say the overall pattern • Use dates and figures • Mention notable examples • Mention anomalies if relevant

  12. EXPLAIN: How did we get so big so fast? In groups discuss: • What do we mean by the term population explosion? • What factors have caused the population growth? • In which areas is most of the growth? • Watch this video to check some of your answers…. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcSX4ytEfcE#t=89
