Week 8/9
Mr Paul
Students will study the impacts of forced migration on the population distribution of countries such as Syria,
This will be continued by starting the unit on Settlements and service provision in rural area's.
2018
Week 7
Mr Paul
Students will study the impacts of migration on the population distribution of countries, looking closely at the USA and Mexico as case studies in the first instance.
This will be complemented by looking at Geography paper 2-skills and identifying development area's.
2018
Week 6
Mr Paul
Students have completed individual case studies on Bangladesh (Over population) Australia (under population?) and Kenya (Rapidly growing population)
This will be peer assessed and we will move on to study the effects of Migration on population growth.
2018
Week 5
Mr Paul
Students have completed a first exam question on population distribution in Mali from which an initial predicted grade was derived.
This will be followed in week 5 by individual case studies on Bangladesh (Over population) Australia (under population?) and Kenya (Rapidly growing population)
2018
Week 4
Mr Paul
Students have been introduced to the concept of Under and Over population and will research the success and failure of anti- natalist policies in China and Pr0-natalist policies in France
2018
Week 3
Mr Paul
Students have continued to work on the factors which impact on Population growth and distribution.
They have also been able to challenge their perspectives through looking at the video 'The Facts about Population-Don't panic' which tests the theory that the explosion in population is the cause of the least developed countries in the world (in Africa and Bangladesh)
2018
Week 2
Mr Paul
The objective was to understand the use of population models such as Population Pyramids and the Democratic Transition model to identify patterns and make accurate predictions about population growth.
We used these models to examine population trends in LEDC's, MEDC's and Developed countries and identified factors which affected these trends.
