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.

The assessment A Geography assessment on population suitable for KS3 students in year 7, 8 or 9 that tests student´s knowledge on: What is population? Why does population change? Population density Densely and sparsely populated areas and the reasons for this. Population graphs Migration The assessment is very straightforward and easy to follow, most questions involve multiple choice, sorting or gap fills as well as some geographical skills questions. The assessment needs around 30-45 minutes to be completed.

Comprehension and additional task exercises pages 46 and 47 from Next Page Science KS3 Complete. Accompanying PowerPoint and word searches available for free from the website. This exercise covers: • What a predator and prey are • The classic predator prey population graph • An explanation of the cycle • Competition and its effect on predator prey numbers • The famous Darwin’s Finches example of different sized beaks • The effect of non-native species • A plotting exercise on predator prey numbers • Amazing WHAT? Facts

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.

• READY TO TEACH (LESSON 1/11 - URBANISATION: POPULATION DISTRIBUTION). In reference to the new KS3 AQA textbook (although not necessarily needed, as all information required for the lesson is included within the resources). Ask pupils to guess how many people they think live in the world today (show the class the worldometer website). Show pupils how the world’s population has increased exponentially since the turn of the twentieth century, refer to the table and line graph on slide 3 (show clip from The Economist summarising the world’s population growth). Pupils make a note of the two key definitions linked to the learning objectives. Explain the difference between the two key terms: population distribution and population density by referring to examples (slide 6). Recap with pupils their understanding of the terms: sparsely and densely populated. Pupils complete a quick quiz, identifying whether the locations presented on the board are sparsely or densely populated (slides 7-16). Show pupils where the majority of the world’s population live on a world map (slide 17). With reference to an atlas (or the use of slide 18), pupils identify sparsely and densely populated places in the world, with justification for why. Reference may be made to physical factors e.g. climate, terrain, inaccessibility as reasons for sparse populations. In contrast, mild climates, flat land and fertile soils may be given as reasons for why some places are densely populated (examples are often on slide 18) The extension task on slide 19, requires pupils to place the factors under the correct column for why a place may be sparsely or densely populated. A quick quiz as a plenary, identifying the most populated countries of the world.

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)
