Preventing Disease Since 1900: Vaccination and Lifestyle
An editable Edexcel GCSE History lesson on vaccination, lifestyle and preventing disease since 1900, for Medicine in Britain, c1250–present.
Includes a seven-slide PowerPoint and a matching three-page Word information and activity sheet. Student pages contain the reading, key vocabulary, six-measure sorting task, comparison and judgement questions, and an original four-mark comparison question with sentence support. A separate teacher page provides indicative answers, a model response and marking guidance.
Covers polio and measles vaccination, the NHS, smoking education and regulation, and the role of public participation. Includes nineteenth-century background so the comparison can be completed without another textbook. Suggested teaching time: 50–60 minutes, adaptable to your class.
Overlap disclosure: Adapted from my existing full Medicine course, with corrections and additional support for this separate edition. If you already own that course, this lesson overlaps with its content. Independent resource, not endorsed by Pearson Edexcel.
