AQA GCSE 9-1 Britain: Health and the People, c1000 to present The aim of this lesson is to judge the contribution and impact Florence made to medicine. Did Florence Nightingale singly handedly improve hospitals or were improvements afoot before she went to the Crimea? This is the driving question students will have in mind as they evaluate the reputation of women, nurses and hospitals before the Crimean War. Students will also analyse the story of Florence Nightingale and decide which factors helped each part of her story – thus recognising and understanding how to link different factors to one individual. The lesson thus includes a GCSE practice question, a fabulous video link and literacy challenges throughout. The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning. The resource comes in Powerpoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change. I have also included suggested teaching strategies to deliver the lesson and there are differentiated materials included.

Changes in medicine: c.1848-c.1948 All lessons are fully resourced and mapped to match exactly with the contents of the official Edexcel IGCSE textbook and specification. Each lesson is accompanied by a YouTube video that explains the topic that is the focus of the lesson. The Knowledge House lessons contain student-friendly requiring students to categorise, assess significance, sort events chronologically, comprehension, solving keyword anagrams, video-related exercises and other engaging tasks that improve students’ knowledge and understanding of second order concepts. There are extension tasks on each resources, including, but not limited to, Edexcel IGCSE exam questions. There are no content-heavy PPTs that encourage regurgitation and rote memorisation. Rather, our focus is on resources created with the learner in mind. Please email info@theknowledgehouse.co.uk if you have any questions or queries. Thank you.
