Double lesson and resources looking at teaching the stages and procedures for how drugs are developed along with investigating placebo effect. Includes a simple caffeine experiment at the end of the lesson putting in to practice the learning from the lesson. Additional resources needed include 2 types of soft drink (I used normal and decaff cola) and plastic cups for each student along with 30cm rulers. Additional guidance included in the notes section of each slide.
The lesson is designed to span over a double lesson, but can be delivered in 1 if edited or if pace is quick.
Starter - Question asking students if they would volunteer for a clinical trial. Moves on to asking students to estimate the overall cost for developing a new drug before briefly investigating the costs involved within this.
Main - Students read information sheet and answer questions relating to the stages involved in drug development, placebo effect and drug safety.
Plenary - Experiment putting into practice their learning by completing a simple experiment into effects of caffeine on reaction time (ruler drop test). Collate class data and discuss.
Extend - Link to video on placebo effect from BBC Horizon documentary
GOOD – STATE the procedures used to trial a new drug in the correct order
GREAT – DESCRIBE how a double-blind trial is carried out
EPIC – EXPLAIN why each procedure in drug testing and trialling is used
As always any feedback is greatly appreciated :)
