4 KEY STUDENT OUTCOMES:

1. Recall what antibiotics are and what they do…
2. Describe some methods for preventing the spread of bacterial infection…
3. Explain what is meant by antibiotic resistance and superbugs…
   Challenge Mission: Demonstrate (using diagrams) how superbugs proliferate.

STARTER
Pupils start the lessons by working together to unscramble words that lead them to thinking about what the lesson is about. Next they think about the Los and self-assess against their current understanding of this topic and undertake a scientific literacy activity.

MAIN and MAIN and MAIN…
