Three reasons why population has increased since the Industrial Revolution?

1. Decrease in the Death Rate

2. Increase in Life Expectancy

3. Decrease in Infant Mortality

Two Changes Made this Possiblewe can thank science for both

• Changes in Agriculture have Increased the World’s food supply

• Advances in Medicines, health care and understanding and control of diseases

First Big Change:Improvements in Farming & Food

• What is a Vaccine?•  

• A vaccine contains purified fragments taken from killed bacteria or viruses. 

Some of the vaccines contain live viruses but in a very weak form that cannot

cause the disease.•  

• How does a Vaccine work?•  

• A vaccine "teaches" the immune system how to recognize and fight the

bacteria/virus before an infection develops.
