This lesson describes how cholera, measles, malaria, TB and HIV are transmitted from an infected individual to an uninfected individual. The PowerPoint and accompanying worksheet have been primarily designed to cover point 10.1 [c] of the CIE A-level Biology specification but intricate planning ensures that the students are constantly challenged on their recall of the content of the previous lesson where the names and types of pathogens that caused these diseases was covered.
The lesson contains a wide range of tasks which will engage the students whilst challenging them to think about the biological content. Relevant examples such as the UK government’s public message of “HANDS, FACE, SPACE” are used to explain how measles, TB and HIV are directly transmitted through droplet infection or the exchange of bodily fluids. A series of exam-style questions challenge the students on their knowledge of the transmission of HIV and the mark scheme is embedded into the PowerPoint to allow them to assess their progress.
The rest of the lesson focuses on the transmission of cholera and malaria in unsafe water and through a vector respectively. Again, the students are challenged to recall the name and type of pathogen that is the causative organism before details of the spread are discussed and described.

Topic 10: Infectious diseases (CIE A-level Biology)
This lesson bundle contains 4 lessons, which are fully-resourced and are filled with a range of tasks to engage and motivate the students whilst covering the following specification points in topic 10 of the CIE A-level Biology specification: 10.1 [a]: Define the term disease and explain the difference between an infectious disease and a non-infectious disease [b]: State the name and type of causative organism of cholera, malaria, TB, HIV/AIDS, smallpox and measles [c]: Explain how cholera, malaria, TB and HIV are transmitted 10.2 [a]: Outline how penicillin acts on bacteria and why antibiotics do not affect viruses [b]: Explain in outline how bacteria becomes resistant to antibiotics with reference to mutation and selection [c]: Discuss the consequences of antibiotic resistance and the steps that can be taken to reduce its impact Included in the tasks are exam-style questions, and the mark schemes for each of these are embedded into the PowerPoint to allow the students to assess their progress
