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

Activity for pupils to draw and compare population pyramids for The Gambia and The UK, using 2023 data. There is a outline set of axes with an example plot on it for lower ability pupils and a labelling activity to pupils to demonstrate their ability to interpret the graphs. In addition there is a visual hexagons task which asks pupils to explain various factors and their influence on population size and structure which would make a good homework task.

Units of work for KS3 Geography, on the topics of ‘Population’ and ‘Migration’. Topics can be delivered independently/individually, or back-to-back as a comprehensive human geography study of both topics. The lessons are designed for delivery to Year 9 Geography/Humanities students, as a good preparation/foundation for the crucial Human Geography Theme 1 Unit of IGCSE Geography, which covers both topics in detail. However, I have also adapted the lessons and delivered them to Year 8 classes with great success in on many occasions. Both units are highly adaptable in all aspects of delivery: duration, content and structure. Some lessons can be shortened, lengthened or removed as required to meet your curriculum needs. Population unit can be anything between 6-10 60 minute lessons, Migration unit can be anything between 6-12 60 minute lessons, as an approximate guide. Some lesson are suitable for 50 minutes to 1 hour of teaching time, but some can require two+ lessons to deliver – this is outlined in the lesson overview below. Includes Powerpoints, with supporting worksheets/resources for lessons including video links, online articles etc. Active and independent learning are the cornerstones of these lessons. Plenty of IGCSE exam questions (with mark schemes) have been sprinkled into several of the lessons to give students a flavour of IGCSE Geography. No additional resources are required. These are the lessons which I currently use to teach my students in a high-achieving High Performance Learning School, and are, therefore, of a very high quality and fully up-to-date. Lesson overview is as follows: Population: • L1 - My Place in the World • L2 - Global Population & Me • L3 – Birth Rates & Death Rates • L4 – Population Explosion • L5 – The Effects of BR & DR on Population (Challenge Lesson) • L6 – Population Distribution & Density (2+ lessons) • L7 – Megacities • L8 – Urban Problems Migration: • L1 - Migration – Causes & Impacts (2 lessons) • L2 - Rural-Urban Migration (2+ lessons) • L3 - Forced Migration (2+ lessons) Ample formative assessment opportunities provided throughout both units including: Extended writing pieces using PEEL-paragraph approach (x3), information poster on population distribution and density, infographic on a rural-urban migration case study and a case study of forced migration. If you’d like a summative assessment, I have created on one on the platform called ‘Socrative’. It consists of 50 questions related to both topics, and is self-marked so, therefore, saving us a lot of marking time :) Average scores in my classes historically are approx. 60% for this quiz/assessment. Email me (address below) if you’d like this quiz/assessment :) The ‘preview’ images are screenshots of PowerPoint slides, worksheets, activities etc. taken from some of the lessons in the units. If you want more information please contact me on aidanannagh@hotmail.com and, if needed, we can arrange a video call where I can share some more :)

Worksheet with graphs and questions about population growth and interspecific competition

Activity involves 4 population pyramids that students have to analyse and match each statement to the correct pyramid. Challenge activities include analysis and the creation of their own population pyramid. This activity was used as a recap. Could be modified to introduce the topic.

This booklet helps students to understand where we are located within the UK and what factors influence this. Locations with significant increasing and declining populations are explored with a look into immigration and the medias influence on our views of this

A simple worksheet which introduced the dependency ratio and gets students thinking about the problems in Japan resulting form an ageing population. As a follow up activity get students to think about and research the opportunities.
