This activity covers the decline in the impact of the church, growth in interest in sciences and the Scientific Revolution, and an overview of changes in medical beliefs and spread of pandemics.

The second task is a ranking activity, asking students to reflect on what they have learnt in the gap fill and rank the reasons why the Black Death spread so quickly. This activity is suitable for all Medicine through Time syllabuses. Although this is a sheet-based activity, the text could be copied and adapted to be set as online work on a vle/sharepoint platform.
