Interacting with population and diversity
Here are just a few interactive sites to support the teaching of population and diversity in the Australian Curriculum: Geography. In particular these sites would be excellent to use in Year 6 with a focus on the diversity of peoples and cultures around the world and The Year 10 'Geographies of human wellbeing' unit.
The map shows population density; the brightest points are the highest
densities. Each country is colored according to its average annual gross
national income per capita, using categories established by the World
Bank (see key below). Some nations— like economic powerhouses China and
India—have an especially wide range of incomes. But as the two most
populous countries, both are lower middle class when income is averaged
per capita. The map also shows a wide range of demographic data associated with economic development
In this graphic, the world's 7
billion population is depicted by 7000 human figures, each
representing a million people.
