A complete lesson that covers the description and interpretation of population pyramids. It is a fully resourced standalone lesson but follows on from the demographic transition lesson. No other resources are required and worksheets of up to date pyramids for annotation are included. I have also included a past exam question. Aimed at GCSE, this would also be suitable for KS3 as the activities can differentiate by outcome.

Overview This resource is a comprehensive set of 6 downloadable worksheets designed to reinforce and enhance students’ knowledge of Geography Population and Migration topics. Worksheet Structure It includes 6 worksheets, one for each of the following topics: Population Distribution Population Density Migration European Population Structures Population Policies and Migration Population Policies in Asia Printable Format The Geography Population and Migration Worksheets is available in a downloadable PDF format, making it easy for teachers, parents, or students to print the worksheets and answers for offline use. Clear instructions are provided to ensure a seamless learning experience. Answers not included.

Lesson 4: Population pyramids Students will come away understanding what population pyramids are and how they show the changes in a countries demographics. They will be able to make links to the DTM and create their own using the given data. High level of literacy focus, challenging activities and both group and independent work.

This is a revision sheet for the topic of population. I use this with KS3 as a revision sheet at the end of the topic, or I give it to them at the beginning so they can see what we will be covering. The topics on the sheet include: Causes of population growth Birth rates Death rates Sparse and dense populations Life expectancy Urban areas and rural areas Measures of development Impacts of population growth

This booklet looks at several areas of population including: key Words, Population Change, World’s Population Distribution, Why Are Some Families Larger Than Others?, Changes In Population, Sustainable Population, One-Child Policy, Ageing Population, France’s Solution, International Migration

Chapter 24 unit from the OCR Biology A A-Level all about populations and sustainability. The unit was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. Including: 24.1 Population Size 24.2 Competition 24.3 Predator Prey Relationships 24.4 Conservation and Preservation 24.5 Sustainability 24.6 Masai Mara 24.7 Terai Region of Nepal 24.8 Peat Bogs 24.9 Environmentally Sensitive Ecosystems (split into two lesson, Galapagos Islands and Antarctica in lesson 1 with Snowdonia and the Lake District in lesson 2)

Students will start by recapping what they have learnt in their previous lesson about the location and countries of Asia along with river features of previous topic. Then students are to describe what population density and distribution are by describing them using 4 examples. Students to identify using a choropleth map which countries in Asia are the most densely populated. Then students to recap what rural and urban areas are along with why people move from rural to urban areas. Starter: Knowledge retention of 5 quick starter questions Task 1:Introduction to population density and distribution, describe the distribution and density of 4 football matches. Task 2: Describe which countries in Asia are densely and sparsely populated on the choropleth map. Task 3: Identify the difference between urban and rural areas. Task 4: Write down what the push and pull factors are for rural and urban areas. Task 5: Main Task: Describe why people move from the rural areas of India to urban cities. Lesson contains one powerpoint and one worksheet.

The human population explosion lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Designed for a higher ability class, although content can be adjusted to suit any ability. Students are expected to demonstrate their graph skills this lesson as well as interpret data. This lesson Includes powerpoint timers, slide animations, questions with markscheme and embedded video’s and mini review. ***Paper friendly tips: Avoid printing the markscheme provided, unless required, an interactive markscheme has been included in the powerpoint. Print two worksheets to one page to save paper. Instruct able students to copy out the table on slide 14 . NB: If you are unable to play embedded videos please view slide notes for link. * AQA spec link: 4.7.3.1; 3.2; 3.3 Relevant chapter: B18 Biodiversity and ecosystems. AQA Biology third edition textbook-Page 286-287 Students are required to know the following; Biodiversity is the variety of all the different species of organisms on earth, or within an ecosystem. A great biodiversity ensures the stability of ecosystems due to the interdependencies of one species on another for food, shelter, and the maintenance of the physical environment. The future of the human species on Earth relies on us maintaining a good level of biodiversity. Many human activities are reducing biodiversity and only recently have measures been taken to try to stop this reduction. Rapid growth in the human population and an increase in the standard of living mean that increasingly more resources are used and more waste is produced. Unless waste and chemical materials are properly handled, more pollution will be caused. Humans reduce the amount of land available for other animals and plants by building, quarrying, farming, and dumping waste.

This lesson is designed to last for 1 hour and is resourced with videos, extension questioning, deep thinking and uses graphs/images to aid learning. This lesson follows the Cambridge KS4 curriculum and looks at population pyramids. Students will look at population pyramids for low income and high income countries before drawing them using data provided. Students will be able to explain the look of the pyramids and be shown some abnormal ones too. This lesson includes a starter, lesson objective, plenary, exam questions and various student led activities.

SoW: What are the causes and consequences of migration? L1: Why are some areas of the world more densely populated than others? - Free This unit is created in line with my personal passion for Population & Migration. This unit is framed around the cause and consequences of the global population growth, and the process and systems behind this geographical issue. A conscience effect has also been made to embed dual coding within this SoW, as well as much differentiation and scaffolding. This Unit is my favorite to deliver and has been streamlined over the last two years.

Lesson 1 - introduction to an Ageing Population - looking at the causes, issues and benefit of a population that is going grey. Case study to look at the actions that France have taken - aimed at a higher ability class - may need some work to differentiate. Two brief exam questions to finish lesson.

Lesson is sequenced after learners have an understanding of GDP, HDI, Gini, literacy rate, birth rate etc. Homework - how does migration impact on a nation's population? Introduction to Push / Pull factors. Both lessons revolve around a key question.
