This engaging and detailed lesson has been written to cover the content of points 7.6 & 7.7 (The hormonal and barrier methods of contraception) as detailed in the Edexcel GCSE Biology & Combined Science specifications. This is a topic which can be difficult to teach due to the awkwardness of a class or students believing that they already know all of the information without really knowing the detail which is laid out in the specification. With this in mind, a wide range of activities have been included in the lesson to maintain motivation whilst ensuring that this important detail is covered. Students will learn about a range of hormonal methods including oral contraceptives and progesterone patches and how these methods influence the menstrual cycle. Barrier methods are also discussed and their effectiveness considered. Time is taken to look at alternative methods such as abstaining from sexual intercourse before and after ovulation and sterilisation. Due to the clear link to the topic of the menstrual cycle, previous knowledge checks are written into the lesson and challenge the students on their knowledge of FSH, LH, oestrogen and progesterone. There are also mathematical skills check so that students are prepared for the added mathematical element in this course.
This lesson has been written for GCSE-aged students who are studying on the Edexcel GCSE Biology or Combined Science courses but is suitable for younger students who are looking at contraception in their Science lessons
