As you learned, demographers use statistics to study people. A great place to study a whole bunch of people is social media! Here is a fun Social Media Demographics Activity to try:

  1. Choose one demographic that you want to research. (Need some ideas? Use this list of demographics)
  2. Open your favorite social media platform (Instagram, Facebook, etc.) if you have one, or get an adult to help you.
  3. Go through your entire friends/followers list and categorize each person according to the demographic you chose. (Example: Ava chose the demographic of age. She then sorts all her followers into age groups – under 10, 11-20, and over 20)
  4. Analyze your results! What did you learn about the demographics of your social media followers/friends?
