AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B. In this lesson we look at how population pyramids can reveal changing population structures and levels of development. There is a literacy starter based on the content learned so far in the unit. We begin with an introductory video on population pyramids and the students have a question sheet to answer whilst they watch the video. Using the information they have gleaned from the video they then annotate two contrasting population pyramids to consolidate how the graphs can reveal a great deal about a country’s level of development. We briefly look at dependency rations and the students have a go at calculating a simple example ratio. We then construct a population pyramid for Nigeria using a worksheet and the students can then consider what it reveals about the country. The students then examine an ageing population but looking at Japan’s changing population structure and the students complete a task looking at the factors that have contributed top this. We then tackle a 6-mark GCSE-style question using the population pyramids they annotated earlier. There is a writing frame for structure and guidance on points to use. . hope this saves you valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

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)

Fully resourced scheme of work on Population and the Environment for AQA A Level Geography. Lessons are broken up based on the specification. They cover: Introduction Environment and Population Environment, health and well-being Population change Principles of population ecology and their application to human populations Global population futures Case studies (Japan and Glasgow) There are also specific exam application lessons. A total of 30 lessons.

This resource explores one of the fundamental ideas in human geography and demography; population pyramids. The resource challenges students to think more broadly about the characteristics of population, the changes we see through time, and the variations between countries. Later in the resource, students explore the underlying factors that lead to different shaped population pyramids. Ultimately, the worksheet challenges the students to think critically about the challenges of an ageing population.

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.
