This powerpoint goes well with the Japan population density activity by History Alive. The simple simulation has you place students into areas of the room (and eventually just on one desk) to simulate the lack of land for Japan's population. These lecture notes provide statistics and other comparison information and questions at the end for review or a quiz.

I have taught all areas of Social Studies for eight years and English I-III for the past year. My experience ranges from teaching grades 6 through 12, and I have had all levels of classes, including Special Education collaboration and gifted and talented. I have also taught on an advanced curriculum team and honors/advanced classes at the high school level.
