KS3 Biology — Agriculture and Habitat Loss — Extension Pack

🐘 Stretch high achievers further with four ready-to-use enrichment activities on agriculture and habitat loss — no preparation required. Habitat loss is the destruction of natural environments, often driven by agriculture and deforestation, and this disrupts food chains, biodiversity, and the survival of species like the Sumatran orangutan, and these tasks push students to apply that thinking, for KS3 students aged 11–14.

📦 What's included:

Vocabulary Matching (15 terms) — covering agriculture, deforestation, biodiversity, habitat, ecosystem, food chain, pollinator, palm oil, reforestation, rewilding, critically endangered, monoculture, extinction, interdependence, and consumer

Challenge Quiz (25 marks) — a population data analysis with trend description and 50-year prediction, a comparison of reforestation and dietary change for long-term biodiversity impact, why a forest has higher biodiversity than a palm oil plantation, evaluating the pollinator irony from both a short-term and long-term perspective, and whether partial dietary change is sufficient

Sumatran Palm Oil Case Study (20 marks) — species threatened, reasons for demand growth, the meaning of critically endangered, the carbon release link to climate change, sustainable certification limitations, and an extended evaluation of consumer behaviour change versus government regulation

Teach It Back task — students write a comprehensive agriculture and habitat loss guide for a Year 6 audience, assessed with a detailed rubric

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