Energy Use Around the World - KS3 Geography Extension Pack

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

⚡ An energy resource is what electricity is made from, such as sunlight, wind, coal or uranium. Renewable resources are topped up by nature in a short time, while non-renewable ones took millions of years to form.

Each activity targets higher-order thinking: a 13-term vocabulary matching exercise covering terms such as turbine, generator, national grid and nuclear fission (13 marks); a 22-mark challenge quiz with a data table on where the world's electricity came from in 2024; a 19-mark case study on how the UK went from the world's first coal-fired public power station in 1882 to closing its last coal power station in 2024; and a creative Teach It Back task where students write a guide explaining where electricity comes from for a Year 5 pupil, assessed with a provided rubric. ✅ Full answer keys and marking guidance are included. Comes as a PDF and an editable Word file (DOCX).
