Resource Overview
This engaging population growth activity helps students understand long-term human population trends. Through an interactive simulation of 500 years of global population growth, students experience the rapidly population growth on Earth. They then create a visual timeline to represent key milestones in population doubling, reinforcing concepts in data visualization, and historical demography.
Use this video alongside our Oh, How We’ve Grown! lesson plan to help give elementary students the foundational math understanding for big global topics like population growth. For more details on this lesson, click the green button below.
