**A. Humans and Carrying Capacity**
**Essential Questions:** //What limiting factors held our species in lag phase? How did we decrease environmental resistance and raise our carrying capacity to enter a period of exponential growth? How have the consequences of our previous adaptations created our modern set of limiting factors? How will we stabilize our population in the future? What will happen if and when we exceed the earth's carrying capacity for our species?// **LAB:** Graphing the History of the Global Population [|HOOK Graphing Human Population Growth.docx] **MINI-VID's**: Interactive Map: Human Numbers through the times **Interactive:** NOVA Population growth of the world **Homework #2** : RQ #9 PAGE 146.
