When one tugs at a single thing in nature, they find it attached to the rest of the world

3. 
   Using the space at the bottom of this page, construct a population pyramid for the United States using the data in the table you constructed. An example of a population pyramid is provided below. The figures along the X-axis represent the calculated percentages of the population, while points along the Y-axis represent age groups. A line drawn down the middle of the graph separates the male and female populations. You should use a different color for each side of the graph.
   

										80+
										75-79
										70-74
										65-69
										60-64
										55-59
										50-54
										45-49
										40-44
										35-39
										30-34
										25-29
										20-24
										15-19
										10-14
										5-9
										0-4

Using the U.S. population pyramid you constructed answer the following questions.

7. Go to the following website:

Select the 2000, 2014 and 2050, bu holding down the control key while selecting.

Click the “Submit” button.

Select the ANIMATE press play button.

8. What is the biggest change in the population comparing 2000 and 2050? Why is this?

9. Click the back button and select the country Kenya. Select years 2000, 2007, 2014. Click the “Submit” button. Select the year 2007. Make a simple illustration of the shape of this graph below.

10. How does the population pyramid of Kenya compare to that of the United States in 2007 (your graph)?

12. All developing countries share this shape of their population pyramid. Why is this?

14. The United States, Japan, and China are experience growth but it is slow growth. Find what their graphs look like and sketch a representative graph below.

15. Make a hypothesis on what the World’s population pyramid looks like by sketching it below. How did you come to this hypothesis?


In the hour it has taken you to complete this worksheet, 16,000 people have been born and 7000 people have passed away.

   The following data chart the growth of a population of deer on a small protected island off the coast of Alaska, recorded over a 50-year period:
   

1941 92 1970 814

1945 151 1975 765

1950 295 1980 688

1955 603 1985 740

1960 861 1990 729

1965 920 1995 738

1. 
   Graph the growth of the deer population. Label the axes. How would you describe the overall shape of the graph? (you may use Excel for this or blank graph paper)
   

2. 
   What happened to the population during the 1960’s and early 1970’s?
   

3. 
   What may have caused the population density to level off?
   

4. 
   What is your estimate of the carrying capacity of the island for deer?
   

5. 
   What is the biological term for this kind of population growth?
