exponential growth and scale of representation in a spreadsheet
watch the video that explains an "exponential" curve
If you want to do this for yourself:
download this spreadsheet
part 1: change the relative growth rate or the time period to see how the curve changes - describe its steepness with respect to these two parameters
part 2: look at the "history of the world" J curve
this curve was generated with a constant growth rate
Be able to explain why a constant growth rate leads to a curve that gets steeper and steeper.
