• Where are the most populated places in Spain?• Can you suggest reasons for this?• Look at the atlas pages 44-45 what is the difference in

the climate between these more and less populated places? Why would this make a difference?

• Can you think of any other reasons

How can we present Population Density?

LEARNING OBJECTIVE1. To identify the different ways of displaying population data

2. To construct a Choropleth map to show the Population density of Brazil

Dot Map

Choropleth Map

Rules of Choropleth Maps

• Equal sized divisions between the categories

• Same colour throughout

• Highest number is the darkest shade

• Lowest number is the lightest shade

Task

Using the data create a choropleth map to show the population density of Brazil

Task 2

•Annotate your map to explain the population distribution of Brazil.

Describing….

• Describe the population density of Brazil.

• Are there any problems with presenting data in this way?

Homework:

• Cut out the cards about why people choose to live in particular places

• On each one write a reason why this is important

• On the back of each card add a picture to show an example of somewhere that does or does not have this feature
