Card Sort: What impact did the Renaissance have on medical knowledge?

This outstanding card sort is suitable for a wide range of abilities and can easily be adapted to suit any text book or resource on this topic. The main activity focuses on the impact that the Renaissance had on medical knowledge. It can be used as a starter, plenary, homework or revision exercise for students studying GCSE Medicine Through Time. This activity will especially appeal to both visual and kinesthetic learners.

When you purchase this resource, you will be able to download a single page word document with a learning objective, instruction and eight headings and information cards that need to be matched together. Once complete students can consolidate their understanding by creating a key to show which ideas were based upon rational or superstitious beliefs. This is followed up by two tasks that look at change and continuity from ancient to the Renaissance period.
