Chronology Card Sort: The fight against infection and disease

This resource is suitable for a wide range of abilities and can easily be adapted to suit any text book or resource on this topic as it is supplied in word. The main activity focuses on how our understanding of the causes of infection and diseases has changed from Prehistoric or Modern Times. It can be used as a starter, plenary, homework or revision exercise for students studying GCSE Medicine Through Time.

When you purchase this resource, you will be able to download a single page word document with a learning objective, instruction and sixteen key turning points in our understanding of the causes of infection and disease. Once complete the timeline makes a great revision aid and allows students to see how some ideas have changed over time, whilst others have stayed the same. You can easily add in an additional challenge task by getting your students to add in additional key events or to create a key to show which changes were influenced by religion, , war or technology.

This resource will especially appeal to both visual and kinesthetic learners.
