KS3 Biology — Deforestation and the Carbon and Water Cycles — Extension Pack

🌳 Stretch high achievers further with four ready-to-use enrichment activities on deforestation — no preparation required. Deforestation is the large-scale removal of trees, which disrupts the carbon cycle by releasing stored CO₂ and reducing photosynthesis, and these tasks push students to apply that thinking, for KS3 students aged 11–14.

📦 What's included:

Vocabulary Matching (12 marks) — covering all key topic terms

Challenge Quiz (25 marks) — a data interpretation question using real global forest cover and CO₂ figures

Amazon Rainforest Case Study (18 marks) — six structured questions progressing from retrieval to evaluation

Teach It Back task — students write a deforestation guide for a younger audience, assessed with a four-level rubric

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