Inside Earth - FREE KS3 Geography Worksheet

Introduce your students to Earth’s structure with this free KS3 Geography worksheet — no preparation needed, just download and use. Perfect as a lesson starter, homework task, or quick revision activity for students aged 11-14.

The worksheet contains three questions: a multiple choice question on the correct order of Earth’s four layers; a fill-in-the-blank activity covering solid, pressure, liquid, lithosphere, and tectonic plates; and a short answer question asking students to explain why the inner core is solid despite extreme heat, and why most earthquakes and volcanoes occur at plate boundaries. A full answer key is included.

Want more? The full 100-mark premium worksheet goes deeper into all four layers in detail, how scientists use seismic waves to study Earth’s interior, the mantle misconception, the Pacific Ring of Fire statistics and location, and the common misconception about where earthquakes and volcanoes actually occur. A complete lesson pack combining the full worksheet and extension activities is also available on the iNewittAll TES store.
