This is a full Geography lesson investigating ageing populations and their impacts. It was originally delivered to a year 8 class but could be adapted for other year levels and key stages. All print outs are included at the end of the PowerPoint presentation. This is a full lesson which is ready to teach. This lesson follows previous lessons on population which is also available During the lesson pupils: Use skills developed in previous lessons (available on TES) to analyse a population pyramid. Watch, interpret, analyse and discuss two videos about life expectancy and birth rate in Britain. Analyse a graph about the increasing age of parents in Britain. Analyse a British population pyramid in terms of life expectancy and age. Analyse and discuss the problems with an aging population. Compare and discuss the theories of Boserup and Malthus.

This is a full Geography lesson investigating push and pull factors of immigration and changing populations. It was originally delivered to a year 8 class but could be adapted for other year levels and key stages. All print outs are included at the end of the PowerPoint presentation. This is a full lesson which is ready to teach. This lesson follows previous lessons on population which is also available During the lesson pupils: Analyse a graph showing immigration to Britain since the 1950s. Brainstorm reasons why people might want to leave their country of origin to immigrate to another country. Define push a pull factors. Complete a card sort to identify examples of push and pull factors. Complete a case study looking at someone’s decision to either stay where they are or immigrate to another area. This involves identifying and discussing push and pull factors and prioritising them. Extended writing task - Write a letter to advise someone to either stay where they are or immigrate to another area. Including peer assessment. Knowledge check to check pupil understanding and link back to the start of the lesson.

This is a full Geography lesson looking at how and why populations change over time. It was originally delivered to a year 8 class but could be adapted for other year levels and key stages. This lesson follows up a previous lesson on population change which is also available During the lesson pupils: Use an ISM to look at the difference between a densely and a sparsely populated area. Use own knowledge to try and identify the most densely populated countries in the world. Use a wold population density map to analyse areas that are densely and sparsely populated. Work out the population density of a number of different countries. Investigate what is meant by population distribution and explain the population distribution of a number of areas based on aerial photos taken at night. Investigate and evaluate human and physical factors which influence population distribution. Complete an extended writing task to explain why an area is densely populated and why a different area is sparsely populated.

This is a full Geography lesson looking at how and why populations change over time. It was originally delivered to a year 8 class but could be adapted for other year levels and key stages. This is the first lesson in a sequence of five lessons. During the lesson pupils: Discuss the current world population and the most populated countries (as of October 2018) Watch and comment on videos discussing changes in world population and its impact. Suggest reasons for the growth in world population especially since the start of the 19th century. Plot the changes in world population on a graph Calculate birth and death rates. Identify and evaluate factors which influence birth and death rates in different types of countries.
