Inquiries in Science: Estimating Human Populations Kit

Product Code: 251413

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.

Kit includes enough materials for at least 30 students working in groups. Receive a FREE digital Teacher’s Manual and Student Guide with kit purchase.
