KS3 Geography — What is the Anthropocene? — Extension Pack

🌐 Stretch high achievers further with four ready-to-use enrichment activities on the Anthropocene — no preparation required. The Anthropocene is a proposed new chapter in Earth's history, defined by the huge impact humans have had on the planet's atmosphere, oceans, land, and living things, and these tasks push students to apply that thinking, for KS3 students aged 11–14.

📦 What's included:

Vocabulary Matching (12 terms) — covering key concepts such as the Anthropocene, Holocene, anthropos, and the four spheres of the Earth

Challenge Quiz (24 marks) — true/false questions and a data interpretation task analysing population and CO2 emissions over time

Crawford Lake Case Study (20 marks) — real geological evidence used to define the Anthropocene

Teach It Back task — students design a one-page guide explaining the Anthropocene to Year 6 students, assessed with a provided rubric

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