Today Mr.Schick wasn't here because he's at a wedding. He did leave us a TED video on population pyramids though and some questions.
1)According to the Population Reference Bureau's "2013 World Population Data Sheet", 271 are born every minute, and 106 die every minute. That's a global net population increase of 165 per minute. This lesson was published on May 5th. What's the estimated global population increase exactly one week later (May 12th)?
(A) over 10 million
2) As a country slows in population growth, its pyramid shape will  A: become wider at the base and narrower at the top
(D) Become more rectangular
3) What does a Population Pyramid NOT give you information about?    
(C) Life expectancy
4) Which continent would have the most fast-growth pyramids?
(A) Africa 

So far there have been 300,000 births today
and 135,685 deaths. By the next second or so this will be outdated sadly.
