Activity
This activity
requires stage 5 students to read the article linked below and use this to
create a flowchart of series of diagrams to illustrate the steps in bacterial
resistance. Students will complete this activity after learning about the
process of natural selection, so this way they can apply their prior knowledge
to the article. Some key words students
should include will be listed on the board as they do this activity (such as
resistance, mutation, selection, selective pressure). This way all students
will have equal access to the activity and know the expectations the teacher
has set for this activity. Furthermore, as students are creating their own
summaries, they will be able to add as much or as little detail as they wish
to.
Syllabus Dot points Covered
LW4 c. explain,
using examples, how natural selection relates to changes in a population, eg in
the
development of
resistance of bacteria to antibiotics and insects to pesticides
