The document outlines a geography lesson plan that includes group and individual activities on topics related to the food supply chain, distribution of global populations, and genetically modified foods. Students will discuss different parts of the supply chain, analyze population maps, and debate the pros and cons of GM foods from various perspectives before answering comprehension questions individually.
2. Lesson 1 Group Activity
“The Food Supply Chain.”
• In your teams, using what you have
learnt / found in the textbook,
explain the parts allocated to your
team in the following slides.
• Write down the key points of your
discussion on A3 paper.
• Prepare for a 120 sec Presentation.
4. In your groups, discuss and list down how the
food item that your group has been allocated
arrived at the GEMs room.
Your discussion should cover the following
points.
• Use the concept of the supply chain.
• Guess the source of the root components.
• List down all the ingredients and where you
think they are from.

“Consequences of variations in food consumption.”
•Individually, you can use
your resources (BYOD –

complete the following
task.
9. Choropleth maps
• Maps that use different shading or colouring
to indicate differences in value.
• Darker shade / more intense colour indicates
higher value.

14. Lesson 3 Individual Activity
“Consequences of variations in food consumption.”
•Take out your
homework.
•Let’s look through the
question together.
15. Let’s look at the information that you
should have.
• Where are the areas that have the highest
population?
• Any trends that can be picked up?
• Where are the areas that have the lowest
population?
• Any trends that can be picked up?
16. Suggested Answer
• The areas with the highest inhabitant numbers (over 100 inhabitants
per km2 ) are found on almost continent on earth.
• They are generally found along the coastal areas of these continents.
For example, along the east and west coasts of North America, South
America, India, Australia.
• These also tend to be found in the tropical belt (between the tropic of
Cancer and tropic of Capricorn, surrounding the Equator).
• The areas with the lowest inhabitant numbers (below 1 inhabitant per
km2 ) are found in the areas where it is landlocked, or suffer from
extreme weather conditions.
• In the middle of the South American Continent, there is a large area
that is covered by the Amazon rainforest. This area also has the low
inhabitant numbers.
• Areas like Alaska and Russia are extremely cold while the middle of
Australia is a large desert hence there is very low inhabitant numbers
too.
