Human Geography - The Demographic Transition Model and Population Pyramids(EG's are Asian Countries)

This lesson can be split over two lessons and is separated as such on the PowerPoint.
Pupils will learn about each stage in the Demographic Transition Model and will be challenged to interpret this by looking at what is happening in each stage to birth and death rates as well as population change. Pupils will be asked to explain the reasons for these changes and the results that come from the changes. As an additional activity, pupils will then be given information from a range of Asian countries and will be asked to place them on the appropriate stage of the DTM.
Pupils will then move on to learn about population pyramids. They will be tasked with drawing a population pyramid and then interpret this and link each population pyramid to a stage in the DTM.

Suitable for Key Stage 3 on a unit for Development. Can also be used for Changing Economic World as part of the GCSE AQA Specification.
