Antibiotic Resistance and Painkiller lesson for new 2016 GCSE specification. No extra resources needed - This lesson has opportunities for student discussion and also effective questioning. The lesson breaks down as follows:
Starter - Students suggest definitions and examples of key terms (Antibiotic - Antiseptic - Antibodies - Analgesics - Disinfectant) before being given meanings.
Main 1 - Students explore the difference between painkillers and antibiotics before recapping how bacteria make us ill - plenty of discussion and questioning opportunity before quick 3 question "show you know" whiteboard plenary and thought cartoon linking on to antibiotic resistance.
Main 2 - Students are taken step by step through the process of antibiotic resistance with animated slides of 3 coloured dots representing weak to resistant bacteria (Green - weak. Orange - Middling resistance. Red - Resistant). After this students attempt the GREAT objective in their books as a written task. Again, encouragement of discussion and reading out of answers is a feature of this part of the lesson, and students will look to refine their answer through this process.
Plenary - Newspaper/Internet headlines relating to development of resistant bacteria and lack of new discoveries coupled with now increased funding for research in to new antibiotics. These help inform the plenary discussing potential problems for human and livestock moving forward.
Objectives are below.
As always, any constructive feedback is welcomed :)
GOOD – DESCRIBE the difference between antibiotics and painkillers.
GREAT – DESCRIBE what is meant by antibiotic resistance.
EPIC – EXPLAIN why scientists are working hard to develop new classes of antibiotics.
