- Push and Pull Factors: Refugee, demographic transition model, doubling time, population pyramids, total fertility rate, and replacement rate.
- Population Video (Eyes of Nye): Exponential population growth; reinforcing feedback loops; factors impacting population growth (e.g., education, childbirth, China's one child policy, etc.).
- Demographic Calculations: Memorizing formulas for birth rate, death rate, immigration rate, emigration rate, natural increase rate, net migration rate, population growth rate per 100, population growth rate %, and doubling time (rule of 70). Include decimal places when calculating.
