Activity 1

On page 1, you have been given some features. Can you identify which are human features and which are physical features?

Today, we will be discussing and finding out information about one of the countries we looked at earlier on this week.

Which country do you think it is? 

Sweden

When looking at maps, we can find out lots of information.

We can find information about:

settlement

Activity 2

On page 2, can you match up the explanation of each of the above to heading?

Together, we will focus on settlements.

Looking at the map above, I can see that most of the settlements are towards the South of the country. 
The 2 biggest settlement areas are Stockholm and Malmö. These areas have over 100 inhabitants in a km square. Whereas, the likes of Norrbotten and Västerbotten, in the North, have less than 10 inhabitant over the same space.

After looking through the facts on the link above, I found out some more information about the population of Sweden.
These facts were:

• The population of Sweden is around 9.9 million people.
• The largest city in the country is Stockholm, the capital, home to over 1.2 million people.
• Around 20% of the Swedish population is under the age of 18.
