Now, in front of all of you, in pairs, there are props.
OK? Some of you have got props.
Some of you have got photographs.
And the question, really, is population.
What have these got to do with population? OK?
So I'm not giving you any other clues than that.
I'm going to give you about a minute to discuss
what your prop's got to do with population.
OK, what's it about? Just your prop.
So yours is the photograph.
Yours, house brick.
Yours, rice.
What's it got to do with population?
You've got one minute, OK, to discuss it in your pairs. Go.
Five, four, three, two, one...
Zero. OK.
What I want you to do, then, is in your pairs,
one or two of you, depending on what you've got...
I need someone to start me off.
What's it got to do with population?
What's the... Tell me what the thing is. And what's it got to do with population?
Why do they need or want that particular thing?
We're going to start with you, Zoe.
It could be used for houses or firewood... where it's cold.
Where it's cold. Good. OK.
Has anybody got a prop that might actually link in with the wood, then?
Right, girls. What prop have you got?
We've got coal, which could also be used for burning to keep the houses warm.
OK. What else could you burn it for, then?
- Cooking. - Cooking. Brilliant.
Has anybody else got something to do with transport or communication?
Lovely, boys. These boys have got another photograph. What's that?
We've got a train that's quite posh and modern.
OK. So what would you need a train for?
Transporting people to different places.
- For? - Work.
For work. OK. So all of these things, then...
If I took that away...
and I took that away
and I left you with not very much at all...
Took that away and I took that away...
And I might have taken the train and all the communications
and I just left you with this,
OK, and you haven't got this,
what's going to happen?
What's going to happen?
Well, if you did grow crops,
they'd dry up because they wouldn't have enough water.
Lovely.
The first thing we need to do, then, is think about...
What does a dense population mean
and what does a sparse population mean?
And I have two jars.
Unfortunately Mrs Ward has a real good tasting for jelly babies
and she's eaten half my population.
So we've got one here, full,
and one here, one.
Which do you think is the sparse and the dense, then?
Which do you think is the sparse and the dense?
Allanah.
The one that's only got one sweet in...
- Is... - The sparse one.
The sparse one. Lovely. The sparse one.
Sometimes we use these terms to describe other things.
You could say that my hair is dense because I've got lots of it,
whilst Mr Abbott's, as we know, is what?
- Sparse. - There we go.
