Energy Use Around the World - KS3 Geography Worksheet

A complete, no-prep 100-mark worksheet on energy use around the world — ready to use for lessons, homework, or revision with KS3 Geography 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.

Structured across three sections of progressive difficulty: Section 1 (30 marks) covers key facts through five multiple choice questions, a ten-statement true/false table and a ten-gap word bank summary on fossil fuels and nuclear power. Section 2 (40 marks) builds understanding through key term definitions, a table classifying energy resources as renewable or non-renewable and fossil fuel or not, and short answers on how a coal power station works, why nuclear power is not a fossil fuel, the United States' share of world energy, and two kinds of solar panel. Section 3 (30 marks) challenges students with extended writing on why the average person in Chad uses less electricity than a UK fridge, how life changes without electricity, and a debate on stopping fossil fuels. ✅ A full answer key with detailed marking guidance is included. Comes as a PDF and an editable Word file (DOCX).
