Venn Diagram Activity: Louis Pasteur Verses Robert Koch

This activity is designed to get students to compare and contrast the contributions of Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch to medical knowledge as part of the Medicine Through Time course. It would make a great starter, plenary , revision activity or mini plenary that could be used with any text book on this topic. If you would like something that goes into a little more depth then check out my card sort on this topic.

When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a single page Word Document which includes a learning objective, instructions, a predrawn Venn diagram and a information box at the bottom from which students can select key facts about the two men to help them complete the diagram. Once completed the activity, students could add additional information that they have researched from the class text book or the linked video clip.

The aims and objectives of this lesson are:

Theme: Germ Theory Know: What contributions did both Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch make to medical knowledge? Understand: What were their methods and ideas? Evaluate: How important were their contributions to Germ Theory?

WILF: What Am I Looking for? Identify & describe: Who were Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch? Explain: What were their methods and ideas? Evaluate: How important were their contributions to Germ Theory?
