KS3 Geography — Our Global Population — Extension Pack

🌍 Stretch high achievers further with four ready-to-use enrichment activities on global population — no preparation required. Global population change is driven by the balance between birth rates and death rates, which vary widely between countries due to factors like healthcare and living standards, and these tasks push students to apply that thinking, for KS3 students aged 11–14.

📦 What's included:

Vocabulary Matching (12 terms) — covering birth rate, death rate, natural increase, natural decrease, population, family planning, aging population, sanitation, population explosion, census, natural increase rate, and population projection

Challenge Quiz (25 marks) — a birth rate calculation, a natural increase rate table for Niger, Japan and the UK, a data response comparing population growth across two historical periods, and evaluative questions on sanitation versus healthcare and the reasons for slowing global growth

Niger and Japan Case Study (20 marks) — analysis, explanation and evaluation questions exploring why two countries have such different population trajectories

Teach It Back task — students write a clear guide explaining global population to a Year 6 student, assessed with a provided four-level rubric

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