A complete lesson covering the human diseases outlined in sections 4.3.1.2 to 4.3.1.5 of the AQA Combined Science Trilogy specification.
The lesson opens with a recall starter revisiting key knowledge about pathogen types and how infectious diseases spread, helping students activate prior learning from earlier lessons.
Students then explore the symptoms and characteristics of common human diseases, including colds and flu and athlete’s foot, supported by short review activities to check understanding and address misconceptions.
Next, students work through a case‑study activity, identifying the disease from a set of symptoms and explaining their reasoning. They then apply this knowledge to evaluate and correct misleading or incorrect statements about infectious diseases, strengthening their ability to spot misconceptions.
Students complete a set of summary questions to consolidate the key learning from the lesson.
The lesson concludes with a plenary, where students revisit and answer the original Learning Question, demonstrating how their understanding has developed.
