This quick activity can be used as a starter, exploring activity or plenary in a lesson on population growth or to recap natural population growth in a lesson introducing the impacts of international migration. The resource is provided as one side of A4, which can be easily printed or photocopied. Each item can then be cut out using a guillotine (for ease of use and time keeping this should be done before the lesson but pupils can be asked to do it themselves with a pair of scissors if desired). If the cards are to be used multiple times it is advisable to laminate the cut out cards or to print directly onto card rather than paper. Having to figure out how the parts of the equation fit together to give net population growth, really seems to help them to understand the concept and to remember this pivotal piece of information in exams.

This resource is designed to be used at the start of a unit on glaciation and/or climate change. The activity introduces pupils to several interesting and often unbelievable facts about glaciation. The 'trick' is that actually ALL the statements are true. Pupils should of course be told this after they have deliberated over the statements in pairs or small groups for 5-10 minutes. Pupils are sure to be surprised at some of the statements. I have found this to be a very eye-opening, worthwhile, engaging and fun activity for starting this topic. I hope your pupils enjoy it as much as mine have.
