SEV5. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the effects of human population growth on global ecosystems.
a. Construct explanations about the relationship between the quality of life and human impact on the environment in terms of population growth, education, and gross national product.
b. Analyze and interpret data on global patterns of population growth (fertility and mortality rates) and demographic transitions in developing and developed countries.
Knowledge Targets:
I can describe human impact on the environment in terms of population growth, education, and gross national product.
I can identify ways human quality of life is measured nationally.
I can describe the national human quality of life.
I can use data models to identify patterns in the national human quality of life over time.
I can identify data models that represent global population growth (fertility and mortality rates).
I can identify data models that represent demographic information in developing and developed countries.
I can use data models to identify patterns in population growth (fertility and mortality rates).
I can use data models to identify patterns in demographic transitions in developing and developed countries.
Reasoning Targets:
I can use data models to determine factors that affect the national human quality of life over time.
I can describe the relationship between national human quality of life and human impact on the environment.
I can construct an explanation of how national human quality of life is related to human impact on the environment in terms of population growth, education, and gross national product.
I can analyze and interpret data models to makes predictions about global population growth (fertility and mortality rates) and demographic transitions in developing and developed countries based on trends and patterns.
