Medicine Case Study - The Death of Kind Charles II (Brilliant Lesson!)

This lesson was a recommended resource by the TES. It is a fantastic memorable fun lesson where the students are challenged but have a lot of fun.

King Charles II is dying, and only the expert knowledge of the best doctors in the UK can save his life.

This lesson was created to be used in the Medicine Through Time SoW, but can be used with other year groups or as a revision activity.

This lessons is a decision making exercise that builds on the pupils knowledge of Medieval medical treatments. Students need to use what they have learned to complete several rounds of a decision making activity to try to save the life of the King. Each round they are scored on how effective their treatment would have been.

This is an excellent lesson as it is fun, memorable and challenging.
