KS3 Geography — Natural Resources and the Economy in the Middle East — Extension Pack

🛢️ Stretch high achievers further with four ready-to-use enrichment activities on natural resources and the economy in the Middle East — no preparation required. Natural resources like oil are unevenly distributed around the world, and countries rich in non-renewable resources such as oil can use that wealth to transform their economies, and these tasks push students to apply that thinking, for KS3 students aged 11–14.

📦 What's included:

Vocabulary Matching (14 terms) — covering key terms from distribution and GDP to NEOM and Sindalah

Challenge Quiz (20 marks) — a timed calculation using real oil production and price data

UAE Economic Diversification Case Study (18 marks) — analysis questions exploring free trade zones, the Mars mission, and comparisons with Saudi Arabia

Data Analysis Task (16 marks) — using tables of global oil production and Middle East GDP figures, evaluating whether a country needs oil to have a strong economy

Full answer keys and marking guidance included for all four activities.
