The Renaissance played an important role in challenging the old ideas of the past. New scientific discoveries challenged old ideas, there was a new spirit of enquiry and individuals like Thomas Sydenham and William Harvey played key roles in pushing back the frontiers of knowledge. Meanwhile, respect for tradition, the Church and the ideas of Galen still influenced the everyday lives of the vast majority of the population. This innovative and creative activity has been carefully designed to help students understand how far Renaissance influenced ideas on medicine and the causes of disease through a simple card sort. It is designed to work alongside any main stream resource on this topic, whilst the nature of these resource will appeal to the full spectrum of ability.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a single page Word Document which contains an learning objective, instructions, six heading cards labelled ‘Government’, ‘The Church’, ‘Science & Technology’, ‘Individuals’, ‘Respect for Tradition’ and ‘New Spirit of Enquiry’ as well as sixteen cards which describe the key factors influencing medical ideas during this period. Students can cut out the cards and sort them under the headings and then have a go at an extended question on this topic. This activity makes a great starter, plenary, revision or consolidation exercise.
The aims and objectives of this less are:
