AQA 8145 Health - Moden treatment (causes and cures)

Lesson exploring the key developments in understanding causes and cures of diseases in the 20th century.
The lesson starts with 5 key statements for students to respond to on their whiteboards, leading to an introductory video that summarise some of the key developments of the 20th century. Students then complete a carousel assessing various developments, completing the A3 sheet as they go. Students will focus on: long-term significance of antibiotics, alternative medicine, DNA and a timeline of treatment since 1945. Using the sheet students then choose the top 3 medical developments from the 20th century, comparing them to other ‘less significant’ developments. Students then recap the whole ‘causes and cures’ topic by matching up and explaining the trios.
