The lesson begins by pupils considering what a communicable disease is, the differences between bacteria and viruses and the mechanisms by which these pathogens spread disease.
The next part will be a brief introduction to the work of Ignaz Semmelweis, Joseph Lister and Louis Pasteur and how they have improved our knowledge of pathogens and contributed to the development of methods to stop the spread of infection.
Pupils will then focus on the work of Ignaz Semmelweis by writing out some sentence starters, watching a video on his work in hospitals in order to finish the sentences off. Pupils can then assess their work using red pens.
The next activity pupils will need to read some information on different disease prevention methods and will need to copy and complete the table shown on the PowerPoint slide. This could be achieved using a circus activity, whereby poster so the information are made and placed around the room for pupils to access.
Finally, pupils will then consider some data on the board and use this to explain the difference between a pandemic and an epidemic.
All of the resources you need for this lesson are included on the PowerPoint slide, there is also an additional resource of a newspaper article activity on Semmelweis which could be used as a homework activity.

Some good ideas but £3 for 5 slides seems a bit steep.
Some good information but not a lot for the money in my opinion<br />
