This lesson discusses population growth, both in the United States and in the world. Topics include factors that influence population growth, such as government policy, religion, education or economic levels, energy use per capita, and whether a country is agrarian or industrial. The lesson includes an activity in which students research an online resource on population growth and answer questions as they navigate through its presentation.
