Term 2: Medicine and Disease – a chronological study.

In Term 2, we will take a trip through time.

We will look at the beliefs related to what caused illness, dating back to prehistoric times, all the way up to the present day. We will also explore attempts made to treat illness and disease: ranging from looking at dances to scare off the 'evil spirits,' to looking at the importance of the discovery made by Edward Jenner.
