What does it actually tell us??
Discuss your ideas with your neighbour for 1

Consider the key words ‘birth rate’, ‘death rate’,
‘rapid growth’. Try to use them in your discussion.

A Future Projection…
You have ONE MINUTE to
predict what the world’s
population will be
(according to the World
Population Clock) by the
end of this lesson.
Make a note of this
number, and keep it safe.
Use the data on the next slide (or
this graph) and enter it into Excel.
Create a cumulative line graph to
show how global populations
have increased in LEDC and
MEDC countries (1700 – now)
Describe the changes in this
graph from Year 00AD to now.

births per woman in a country’s population.
1. How might a country’s fertility rate
affect how fast the population grows?
2. What can you say about fertility rates in
LIC’s, compared to HIC’s?
