Population Density - KS3 Geography Extension Pack

Four ready-to-use enrichment activities for KS3 Geography students who’ve mastered the basics of population density — ideal for extension tasks, homework, cover lessons, or stretching high achievers. No preparation required. Suitable for students aged 11-14.

Population density describes how many people live in a given area, usually measured as the number of people per square kilometre. It explains why some parts of the world are crowded while others are almost empty.

Each activity targets higher-order thinking: a 12-term vocabulary matching exercise covering density, distribution, physical and human factors, fertile soil and more; a 26-mark challenge quiz mixing multiple choice, true or false, short answer and a data interpretation table comparing real density figures across countries; a 19-mark case study on Bangladesh, one of the world’s most densely populated countries, examining the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta, flood risk and rapid urban growth; and a creative Teach It Back task where students write a simple guide explaining population density for a younger audience, assessed with a provided rubric. Full answer keys and marking guidance are included for all activities.

Pairs with the main 100-mark KS3 Geography worksheet on this topic, also on TES. Buy both together as a complete lesson bundle and save £1.
