Course 1: Unit 1 Project - People Everywhere

You can use the U.S. Census to compare different characteristics of states' populations, such as the average number of people per square mile, the percent of youth compared to the percent of adults, and the ratio of women to men.

Choose two populations at your school, such as boys and girls, or sixth graders and seventh graders. Then choose a characteristic, such as sports played or number of siblings. Compare the characteristics of the two populations. Report your findings in a double bar graph. At the end of chapter 2, you will complete a project to compare characteristics of the population of different states. Time to get in the right state of mind!
