Enquiry question: Why does the population vary between places?
Why: so that I can understand the reasons for uneven population distribution in 2 contrasting countries
How:
•Consider the human and physical factors that influence population density
•GIS map analysis

Why? To understand how economic development has influenced population density and distribution
The 25 richest, healthiest, happiest, and most advanced countries in the world?
Watch the video clip below and consider the following questions:
Watch the video clip below and consider the following questions:
- What methods could we use to measure the wealth, health and happiness of a country?
- What problems might be faced in trying to measure these? Which do you consider will be most difficult to measure and why?
- Why do geographers and other social scientists often use GDP per capital (PPP) as an indicator of the overall development of a country?
World Bank Classification Of Countries
1. Study the map below which shows the World Bank classifications of countries by income.
1. Study the map below which shows the World Bank classifications of countries by income.
2. Use the map and the World Bank website to produce a SIMPLIFIED and ANNOTATED sketch map to show the spatial distribution of the low, middle and high income countries.
3. Write a paragraph describing the distribution: your paragraph should reference each continent. Remember to identify and explain anomalies as well as overall patterns and trends.Name countries and use specifics in your description. Does this link to patterns of population distribution?
4. Use the World Bank website to explain how each group of countries is defined by income.

Emerging Economies
1. Read the article on characteristics of NICs and watch the video on BRICS.
2. Create a spider diagram to show the key characteristics of NICS.
3. How do these emerging economies differ from other low or middle income countries?
4. How can you explain the importance of this group of countries?

Creating an INFOGRAPHIC of population distribution and DENSITY in China and the USA
Dealing with heavy content- geographical skill
Creating visual representations to encourage understanding and highlight key information. Graphics are visual elements often used to point readers and viewers to particular information. They are also used in an effort to aid readers in their understanding of a particular concept or maker the concept more clear or interesting.
Success criteria:
For either China or the USA:
•Explain the pattern of economic development
•Describe the population distribution (include an annotated map)
•Explain the physical and human factors that influence patterns of population density
•Explain the influence of core-periphery patterns, internal migration and megacity growth on population distribution
•Resources:
•Found on wiki, within PPT and China is on Kognity
