1. World Population Growth: Understanding Earth's Growing Numbers [Image suggestion: Earth with population counter overlay]

2. What is Population Growth? Definition: The increase in the number of people in a population over time Two main factors: Birth rates (how many babies are born) Death rates (how many people die) Natural increase = Birth rate - Death rate [Image suggestion: Simple graph showing population increase over time]

3. The Population Explosion World population in 1800: 1 billion World population today: 8 billion Key changes in last 200 years: Better medical care Improved food production Better sanitation Safer living conditions [Image suggestion: Timeline showing population milestones]

4. Understanding Birth Rate Birth rate = number of births per 1,000 people per year Global birth rate has changed: 1960: 32 births per 1,000 people 2023: 17.5 births per 1,000 people Factors affecting birth rate: Education Healthcare access Cultural factors [Image suggestion: Infographic showing birth rate trends]

5. Understanding Death Rate Death rate = number of deaths per 1,000 people per year Historical changes: 1800s: 30+ deaths per 1,000 people 2023: 7.5 deaths per 1,000 people Reasons for decrease: Better medicine Improved nutrition Clean water access [Image suggestion: Graph showing declining death rates]

6. Life Expectancy Definition: Average number of years a person is expected to live Changes over time: 1800: 30-40 years 2023: 73 years globally Reasons for increase: Better healthcare Improved living conditions Disease prevention [Image suggestion: Visual comparison of life expectancy across centuries]
