Hans Rosling: two-hundred years in four minutes teaches global health animating data in real space life expectancy was below forty and made less than forty thousand dollars in 1810 World War One Spanish flu epidemic twenty-fifty million killed around the world six-hundred seventy-five thousand killed in the United States 1948 World War Two So in the video we watched today, we saw a chart that had all the countries and their life expectancy, income, and industrial growth. I learned that they all started in the same place which was a very low place in the corner of the chart. Then as industrialization started the countries started to rise lead by America and Canada. Then there was China in the middle slowly starting to work its way up since it has such a large population. During World War Two every country dropped because men kept dieing in the war which made the population drop. We have a quiz on this that is going into quarter two, thank God, but I think I will d

i was not in class today

We had a test today on the CIA world fact book, life expectancy, and measuring population. I think I did pretty good on the test and I really hope to get a good grade. There was maybe one or two questions that I didn't really but I had a really good guess so I hope to get those right. I also feel really good about part where we used the fact book because it was like the answers were handed to me, there was one about how many airports have over a thousand in each country and I just didn't know where to find the answer. I am not sure if I got the extra credit questions correct though they were just a guess, that would be great if I got them correct though. There was also one question on the do the math part that I kind of had to guess with but it was a pretty good guess so I should be fine.

So today we went over some questions that might be on the test on Friday. There are fifteen questions about certain countries on the CIA world fact book so we can use that site for twenty minutes to find the answers. That should be pretty easy for me because I can get around the site and find information pretty fast so I should be fine on that. There is a matching vocab part that I should do fine on too. I think I am going to get a one-hundred on both of those parts because I get to use the website in the first part and I'm good at memorizing vocab on the second part. There is one question that we were told that would be on the test it was: name two push and pull forces and list the country. So I need to go on the website and look up the certain country I am going to put as the answer and the push and pull forces for them. So I really hope to get a one-hundred percent on a ninety something on this test because it seems pretty easy.

The fact book was pretty cool but I don't think I will ever use it outside of this class. It's cool and all but I think I would only use it in a classroom because I don't really wonder what the death or birth rate of a country is. I do like how you can find everything from birth and death rate to how many people use the internet in a country. So I thought that was pretty neat. It was also raining all day and was a bit dark too. During first period it was still dark out so that made me a bit tired for the rest of the day. Since I was pretty tired during the day I fell asleep in honors bio and Cici had to wake me up before Mr. Low could notice. I got some extra credit points for math for staying in a math teacher's classroom and doing a worksheet for twenty minutes and I feel really good about my math test I took the other day so I hope both of those can boost my grade up a bit. I also got a forty-eight out of fifty on my verb test. And I got a nineteen point five out of

1. The population of China is 1,384,688,986. The population of India is 1,296,834,042. 2. The total fertility rate in Japan is 1.42 children. 3. The death rate in El Salvador is 5.8 deaths / 1000 population. 4. The percent of people in France that identify as "none" for religion is 23-28%. It's not verifiable because the government doesn't ask what religion you are. 5. The percent of people in Mexico that are Roman Catholic is 82.7%. 6. The GDP per capita (PPP) in the United States is $59,800. 7. The GDP per capita (PPP) in Nigeria is $5,900. 8. The GDP per capita (PPP) in Luxembourg is $105,100. 9. The percent of people in the United States that use the internet is 76.2%. 10. The number of airports in Russia is 1,218. The number of airports in the United States is 13,513. 11. The number of people in the world without electricity is 1.201 billion. 12. The infant mortality rate in Canada is 4.5 deaths / 1000 births. The infant mortality rate in C

life expectancy - the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year high : Monaco (89.52 total: 85.63 men, 93.58 women) #42 : U.S. (79.68 total: 77.32 men, 81.97 women) low : Chad (49.81 total: 48.62 men, 51.03 women) One thing that is constant in all three of those examples is that women are expected to live longer than men. This is true in my opinion because women get into the habit of going to a doctor like a gynecologist or an OBGYN at a very young age. A women has knows when she needs to see a doctor or seek help for something that they feel is wrong. Women can sense symptoms that men don't usually act on as fast as women do when they notice a bump or cough. Men don't like to seek help because they like to act tough or keep their image or they might not like asking for help because men are supposed to be the tough guys. Women on the other hand know they need to seek help because there might be something harming or harmful to them that

So I got a 67% on my test. I am very mad about my score because I felt really good about it coming out of the test. Some of my incorrect answers were just stupid mistakes and brain farts. I wasted away easy points. I got numbers seven, fourteen, fifteen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-three, twenty-four, and twenty-six wrong. The correct answers were 7. Mercator projection map, 14. relative location, 15. absolute location, 18. absolute location, 19. neither, 20. absolute location, 23. 11:15 a.m., 24. 2:30 p.m., 26. UTC - 5:00. I am going to try very very hard to do well on my next quiz or test and make sure I prepare myself as much as I need to the night before. I need to make sure I am focused and don"t get distracted so I don't make stupid mistakes and waste easy points like I unfortunately did on this test.                                                                     

-over 7.6 billion people on the planet right now -90% of this population growth takes place in the developing countries of Africa, South and East Asia, and Latin America In class today we went over population growth and loss. A baby is born every eight seconds and a person dies every eleven seconds. We talked about when you have a baby your taxes get lowered, but if the baby or child dies and is under eighteen the taxes stay lowered. If the person is eighteen or older the taxes go up to what they were before because that person is dependent on themselves. The population of a country can grow when an immigrant leaves the country to go to another. This causes the country that the immigrant left to have one less person in their population. I also saw my test score today and was very disappointed in myself because I actually felt really good about it when I was turning it, I'm not sure what I did wrong. When other people from the class were asking me what I got they said they got th

We had our quiz today in class and I honestly feel really good about it. The only two questions that I had a hard time on were the questions on what time if would be in different time zones in America. I think I might have gotten the two questions wrong but it's fine because I think I did very good on the quiz. It was a lot easier than I initially thought it would be. This is because there were only twenty-eight questions and they were all multiple choice. I really hope I can get a good grade on the quiz so I can boost my high B to an A so I can have five A's and two B's. I'm really trying my best to keep my grades up so getting a really good grade on this quiz will help get human geo out out of the picture.

In class today we went over the power point slides that have information on the quiz for tomorrow. I thought the quiz was today so I tried cramming a bunch of studying in during my off mod before lunch. Thankfully the quiz is actually tomorrow so I can properly study and prepare myself. I am going to go over the power point a few times before I go to bed so it stays in my mind over night till the next morning. I find that is the best way I personally study and get good grades on my quizzes and tests. I will also go over the power point in my off mod right before lunch and maybe before class if I get there early enough. Usually what drops my grades down are the tests and quizzes not the homework and class work, which I get completed every time. It's about how prepared I am for the quiz or test. I am going to prepare myself very well for this quiz so I can get a good score that can hopefully bring my B to an A.

Today in class we went over a few test questions that some of us wrote. Some were pretty easy questions while others were okay. I think I will be fine on the quiz on Monday because I have a few days to study and prepare myself for it. I basically bombed the pop-quiz today because I didn't get to study for it at all which I think is pretty study. I really need to bring my grade up because I'm shooting for a 4.0 GPA or higher like my brothers. I am going to make sure that I turn in all my homework and school work when it is due, I am going to participate in class, and I am going to prepare myself the best I can for any quizzes, tests, or exams. I am going to work very hard on my quizzes tomorrow and the quiz we have on Monday. I am hoping to get a 100% on that quiz so it can boost my B to an A.
