A complete, no-prep 100-mark worksheet on agriculture and habitat loss — ready to use for lessons, homework, or revision with KS3 Biology students aged 11-14.
Structured across three sections of progressive difficulty: Section 1 (30 marks) covers population figures, deforestation, the Sumatran orangutan, biodiversity, the most powerful conservation strategy, and the 2022 population figure through multiple choice questions, a true/false table, and a fill-in-the-blank activity covering biodiversity, palm oil, pollinators, food chains, reforestation, and rewilding. Section 2 (40 marks) builds understanding through a key term matching activity, a population data analysis with calculations, an explanation of palm oil and biodiversity loss, a question on why deforestation threatens entire ecosystems not just individual species, a pollinator irony explanation, a reforestation versus rewilding comparison table, a step-by-step dietary change chain of reasoning, and a palm oil ban evaluation question. Section 3 (30 marks) challenges students with extended discussions on whether feeding 8 billion people justifies destroying forests, evaluating dietary change versus reforestation, and the connection between consumer choices and global habitat loss. A full answer key with detailed marking guidance is included.

Also available: a companion extension pack with four enrichment activities, or save £1 with the complete lesson bundle — both listed on the iNewittAll TES store.
