Wednesday - Complete "Population Pressures" - students play a predator-prey game that simulates population regulation in nature.
Reading guide 4.2 Human Population Growth as homework.
Thursday - Lecture on 4.2 Human Population Growth; Graphing activity on human populations
Friday - Activity: "Let Them Eat Cake", then film on Populations
Homework: 4-square vocabulary, Chapter 4
