GCSE Biology Topic 6: Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria
In this GCSE Biology Topic 6: Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria lesson, students will describe how antibiotic resistant bacterial strains arise, explain why antibiotic resistance is becoming more common and revise how to test for antibiotic resistance by culturing microorganisms.
The slides include extension questions, and students can choose from a variety of different tasks.
This lesson includes:
- Title slide with learning objectives
- A starter activity
- Group reading (literacy)
- Keywords (vocabulary: antibiotics, antibiotic resistance, strain and superbugs)
