GCSE - Medicine Through Time: The development of Germ Theory

The development of Germ Theory is complex and incorporates numerous factors that are integral to the Medicine Through Time unit at GCSE.

This is a lesson that is built around a detailed game where students progress through the periods and (under tight timed conditions) utilise the information from the different cards to complete their table. It should be flagged that these lessons do not have to be used as a game and can just as easily be used as a simply comprehension and consolidation activity.

The two word document sheets go with the first lesson, with lesson 2 then focusing on consolidating and adding a few remaining details to the topic.

In completing these lessons, student knowledge should easily exceed the requirements of the course (though I make this claim without having any actual connection to the exam board!!!).
