Describe how the equation is used to determine the impact of human lifestyle on the Earth. Discuss the impact in terms of population, affluence, and technology. Describe in detail all three. Discuss the gross domestic product and its affect. Describe and discuss both local and global impacts and and the ecological footprint.
Define demographic transition and the factors which influence it.
Discuss using graphs and charts the 4 phases which countries go through, along with all the factors which bring about the phases.
Describe the changes from developing to developed nations, from poor to affluent, and how these changes affect the population growth or stability.

Outline and discuss how the IPAT equation can be utilized to determine the impact of human life on the Earth. Discuss each of the inputs of the equation.
Introduce the impact of affluence and the role the gross domestic product has on the environment. Discuss local v global impacts, uban v suburban impacts.
Discuss the 4 phase process to explain economic development and population growth. View graphically each phase and outline the effects on population each factor in the phase has on the growth and stability.

Abs for this class. Came to school later for testing
View a series of diagrams and charts which indicate population size in developed and developing countries. Note where most people live globally, View and discuss how economic growth affects population growth. Discuss the per capita ecological footprint and the affect affluence has on it. Compare and contrast ecological footprints of a series of countries and elicit why there are differences.
Discuss population changes over time and the causes of these changes. Define and introduce the demographic transition theory which aids in understanding the reasons behind population fluctuations in the past and do they apply to the current time.
Examine the phase diagram which models the way in which the crude birth rate, the crude death rate, and the population growth occur for a nation with changing economic development. Introduce the 4 phases of the demographic theory and correlate the change in population, birth rate, and death rate as the nation progresses from agricultural to industrial. Discuss reasons for rapid population growth, the lowering of death rate while the birth rate remains high. Indicate why in phase 3 populations stabilize, while in phase 4 they decline. Discuss family planning as outlined in the text. Elicit reasons why families are choosing a smaller number of children as a nation moves toward greater affluence.
Discuss how populations fluctuate over time and how the theory of demographic transition is used to understand the reasons behind the fluctuations in the past and do they apply to contemporary demographic issues. Define the theory of demographic transition and using a graph, discuss the 4 phases and the type of growth related to each phase.
