READY TO TEACH (LESSON 2/11 - URBANISATION: POPULATION PYRAMIDS). Introduce the concept of population pyramids with the class, with reference to a definition (slide 2). Explain why population pyramids are so useful in Geography (discuss with pupils how we can find out about birth rates, death rates and life expectancy of a population within a country which can indicate a country’s level of development). Pupils makes a note of key terms (slide 4). Pupils are required to annotate the two population pyramids with the correct information, recap (slide 6). With reference to Zimbabwe and the United Kingdom population pyramids, pupils are required to write a paragraph describing the general trend of a population pyramid showing a LIC and a HIC. Discuss how population pyramid shapes can vary drastically based on a range of factors, refer to the four specific country examples (slide 9) Explore with pupils the reasons for why HICs have a narrow base, pupils can create a spider diagram discussing the reasons for why birth rates are low in countries such as the UK. As an extension, pupils can suggest reasons for why birth rates are high in LICs. Pupils complete a quick true or false quick to check their understanding of population pyramids (slide 11). The homework task involves pupils drawing their own population pyramid, with annotations. Model an example of how the population pyramid should look (slide 13).

SoW: What are the causes and consequences of migration? L1: Why are some areas of the world more densely populated than others? - Free This unit is created in line with my personal passion for Population & Migration. This unit is framed around the cause and consequences of the global population growth, and the process and systems behind this geographical issue. A conscience effect has also been made to embed dual coding within this SoW, as well as much differentiation and scaffolding. This Unit is my favorite to deliver and has been streamlined over the last two years.

Introduction to KS3 Population topic. 4 x 1 hour lessons. Lesson 1: Intro, defining key terms Lesson 2: Population density Lesson 3: Population pyramids Lesson 4: Living in the UK Complete with PowerPoints, all worksheets, resources and detailed lesson plans. Ideal for non-specialist teachers and experienced teachers alike. Can easily be used for GCSE/KS4 as revision or a fresh intro to the topic.

A fully resourced key stage 3 lesson within the topic of population. This lesson looks at how we can read, analyse and interpret population pyramids to make sense of the data they show us. It culminates in getting students to construct their own for the UK.

Activity for pupils to draw and compare population pyramids for The Gambia and The UK, using 2023 data. There is a outline set of axes with an example plot on it for lower ability pupils and a labelling activity to pupils to demonstrate their ability to interpret the graphs. In addition there is a visual hexagons task which asks pupils to explain various factors and their influence on population size and structure which would make a good homework task.

This power point explains the causes of an ageing population in a country like the UK and the benefits and problems this may have on countries. Link to demographic visuals showing how quickly some countries are ageing. Includes a handout sheet with various causes, benefits and problems for pupils to read and sort.

A fully resourced lesson that explores the DTM in an active way. The power-point covers the key definitions and includes video links. The main activity is a market place/carousel activity in which the students move around the room collecting the information for each stage. The information sheets are in colour for high impact and would benefit from laminating to ensure they can be reused. The data is up to date using pyramids from the CIA website. Designed to meet the demands of the new 9-1 GCSE but suitable for KS3. If you find these useful please leave a review - thanks for looking!

This lesson looks at the population of Africa and asks the question ‘why is the population growing so fast?’ It is a useful lesson for a unit on population or on Africa. It looks at numerous factors that contribute to population and uses the case study of Nigeria (both rural and urban) to explore these themes. A terrific (and terrifying!) lesson,

This lesson is designed to last for 50-60 minutes and is resourced with videos, extension questioning, deep thinking and uses graphs/images to aid learning. This lesson follows the Oxford KS3 curriculum and looks at how populations are spread out with students learning key words such as population density and distribution. Students will also use a map of the UK’s population to aid them in describing and explaining the distribution. This lesson includes a starter, lesson objective, plenary and various student led activities.

READY TO TEACH (LESSON 3/11 - JAPAN: AGEING POPULATION). Show pupils a range of images, all are linked to the same country (slides 1-10). Pupils are to raise their hand when they think they know the country, no shouting out. Recap with the class how diverse the country of Japan is (slide 11). Introduce the focus of today’s lesson, with a link to Japan’s future conveyed in a population pyramid (a reference to last lesson). Ask pupils to compare what is different between the population pyramids of 1960 and 2050 - link their ideas to the fact Japan’s population is rapidly growing old. Reinforce this point with the horizontal bar graph (slide 13). Show pupils the clip discussing the world’s ageing population. Pupils make a note of the definition - ageing population (slide 15). Discuss the cartogram map on slide 16 - identify where the world’s ageing population is located, make reference to Europe, contrast with the continent of Africa. Show clip discussing Japan’s ageing population. Discuss with pupils the current and future statistics about Japan’s population (slide 17). Discuss with pupils the causal factors for an ageing population (slide 18). Pupils can make their own notes in their books. Analyse the choropleth maps (slide 19). Pupils suggest problems with an ageing population. Link the ideas to the task, pupils rearrange the statements under the following headings: problems of an ageing population and solutions to an ageing population. This can be completed in a card sort format, or written directly from the slide into books. Recap statements (slide 20). To conclude the lesson, discuss with pupils how Japan must address some of these solutions in the future, if they want to tackle the problems created by an ageing population. If time permitting, show the clip discussing ROBEAR - the experimental nursing care robot - is this the solution? Pupils’ homework task is to answer questions based upon the podcast: Japan - New ways to grow old, for self-assessment next lesson.

IGCSE Cambridge Theme 1: Population & Settlement – Population 1: How has the World’s Population changed in the last few hundred years?
