Our Global Population - KS3 Geography Worksheet

A complete, no-prep 100-mark worksheet on global population — ready to use for lessons, homework, or revision with KS3 Geography students aged 11-14. Covers birth rates, death rates, natural increase and decrease, world population change through history, the population explosion, and future population projections to 2080.

Structured across three sections of progressive difficulty: Section 1 (30 marks) covers key definitions, multiple-choice questions on birth rate, death rate, natural increase and decrease, a matching activity, a true-or-false table, and a fill-in-the-blank task on the causes of the population explosion. Section 2 (40 marks) builds understanding through definition questions, a factor-categorisation table, a short-answer question on low income countries and high birth rates, a data response task using world population milestone figures, and a 12-mark extended answer on population growth before 1700 AD versus after 1800 AD. Section 3 (30 marks) challenges students with three extended evaluation tasks: assessing whether wealth is the main factor controlling birth rate, analysing why wealthy European countries like Italy and Germany still have high death rates, and evaluating whether a declining global population would be beneficial or harmful. A full answer key with detailed marking guidance is included.

Also available: a companion extension pack with four enrichment activities, or save £1 with the complete lesson bundle — both listed on the iNewittAll TES store.
