The document instructs students to visit a website that displays life expectancy data for various countries. It asks students to identify the life expectancies of 6 countries ranging from 82 years in Australia to 57 years in South Sudan. It then prompts students to note that Australia, Japan and Luxembourg have higher life expectancies while Burundi, South Sudan and Malawi have lower life expectancies. Finally, it asks students to discuss factors that influence life expectancy rates and choose a country to analyze potential health determinants for its life expectancy.
