May 2003 - GCSE Geography 5-a-day
Every GCSE Geography sheet published in May 2003, with answers. Physical processes, human patterns, case-study detail and fieldwork technique.
Every sheet in May 2003
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.
- 1st May 2003Name the general shape of a population pyramid for a country with roughly similar numbers of people in each age group.
- 2nd May 2003Give one social measure of development, other than life expectancy.
- 3rd May 2003In which country is Kitui County, the location of a well-known community rainwater-harvesting project, found?
- 4th May 2003Calculate the monthly vegetable output of 15 sack gardens if each produces 3.5 kg per month.
- 5th May 2003Define 'urban sustainability'.
- 6th May 2003A supermarket can import strawberries flown a distance of 8,400 km, or buy strawberries grown 240 km away in the UK. Calculate how many times further the imported strawberries travel than the UK-grown ones.

- 15th May 2003Give one example of a bottom-up development strategy.
- 16th May 2003Put these parts of a rainwater-harvesting system in the order water passes through them: storage tank, roof, filter, guttering.
- 17th May 2003Suggest one risk that a community sack garden scheme in an informal settlement might face if it relies only on volunteer labour with no formal organisation.

- 29th May 2003Give one part of a hand pump that needs regular maintenance.
- 30th May 2003Give one way that urban farming projects like sack gardens can improve a household's diet, other than increasing the total amount of food available.
