Learners can use their own experiences and research techniques to investigate microbes, in the context of research into the life and work of Louis Pasteur.
Learners can be given the opportunity to relate symptoms and illnesses to diseases caused by microbes.
Using the work of Louis Pasteur as a stimulus, learners will explain how germs are spread and discuss how some methods of preventing and treating disease have benefited society. Learners could be asked to start a campaign to promote an aspect of hygiene e.g. handwashing.
