AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2A: In this lesson we look at where people in the UK live and the reasons for our population distribution.
The starter is based on the population total for the UK and the pupils have some questions to think about. I usually do this as a discussion. There is also a can you name 15 cities starter which works well for high ability groups.
We then look at cities in the UK. the pupils have a map and need to find the location of some of the major cities in the UK, we then briefly talk about their distribution. Next the pupils consider the human and physical factors that affect population distribution before putting this knowledge to work on a worksheet with several tasks and questions.
We finish with GCSE-style question on human and physical factors that affect population distribution.
In a nutshell lesson includes:
Two starters on population and cities.
Map task on the major cities of the UK
Worksheet on the population distribution in the UK
Video clips where appropriate
GCSE-style question with guidance on how to respond.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.
