World Population

This task uses a Problem-Solving Approach and is designed to take approximately 3 hours of teaching time.

The resource enables teachers to lead pupils through an investigation into the size of the World's Population - how quickly is it increasing, where is it increasing the most and when we might reach our planet's limit.
