The document discusses using population pyramids to predict population change. It provides population data for the UK in 2010 and 2050 broken down by age and gender. Population pyramids visually depict this data using bars to show male and female populations in each age group. Comparing pyramids from different times allows predicting how a population will change in the future. The homework is to create a 3D population pyramid for the UK in 2050 using materials like Lego bricks or jelly babies and compare it to the 2010 pyramid.

2. How can we predict how population will change? LI: To understand how to interpret Population pyramids. During today's lesson we shall be investigating what Population pyramids are, and how they can be used to predict population change.

7. Homework This weeks homework for Year 7's is to produce a 3D version of the UK's population pyramid in 2050 and compare it to the pyramid of 2010 we did in class. The data you need is shown in the slide show below - but how will you make it look 3D? Lego bricks would be great, jelly babies arranged on a plate perhaps? Remember to take a photo and bring in next lesson or post your photo on the schools VLE.

8. Plenary What was our learning objective? Did we achieve it? How can we be sure?
