$0.00Price
This lesson introduces students to life expectancy as a measure of development and asks them to investigate life expectancy in the US and globally using data from the CDC, Gapminder and Our World in Data.
It also also engages students in watching and debriefing videos about the doubling of life expectancy in the past century, and on the reasons people die early in countries around the world.
The lesson features a powerpoint presentation by Gapminder which illustrates how life expectancy is calculated and compares life expectancies in Burundi and Sweden.
