Description
- Investigate community population trends through historical vital data
- Generate survivorship curves
- Predict population trends based on different parameters
Students collect historical data from a cemetery (or from an included cemetery card set) and analyze this information to generate a survivorship curve. Then they apply their knowledge to investigate global human population patterns and predict the size of the world population over a 30-year period.
