| Learning Outcome(s) | 2.1.1.LO.1 - Describe various roles of biomedical scientists in the society | ||
| Content Standard | 2.1.1.CS.1 | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 2.1.1.LI.1 - Explore the various roles of biomedical scientists in the society. Investigate and discuss a variety of biomedical science careers that relate to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. Experiential Learning: Learners visit the workplace of selected biomedical scientists or watch videos of biomedical scientists at work or observe pictures of biomedical science professionals. Learners make notes of their observations and discuss the various careers in biomedical science. Activity-Based Learning: Work in groups to role-play the various professionals and how they work daily in relation to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases | ||
| Lesson Focus | Explore the various roles of biomedical scientists in the society. | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall related ideas, vocabulary or experiences from earlier lessons and everyday contexts. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Describe the key idea in: Explore the various roles of biomedical scientists in the society. Apply the idea through guided and independent learning activities. Demonstrate understanding through oral responses, written work or practical performance. | ||
| Essential Question(s) | What biomedical principle, process, risk or intervention is central to Explore the various roles of biomedical scientists in the society. Investigate and discuss a variety of biomedical science careers that relate to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. Experiential Learning: Learners visit the workplace of selected biomedical scientists or watch videos of biomedical scientists at work or observe pictures of biomedical science professionals. Learners make notes of their observations and discuss the various careers in biomedical science. Activity-Based Learning: Work in groups to role-play the various professionals and how they work daily in relation to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases? What evidence, observation, device output or scientific information would help us make a sound biomedical decision? How can the lesson knowledge be applied safely and ethically to improve health, diagnosis, therapy, prevention or biomedical innovation? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Collaborative Learning Problem-Based Learning Case-Based Learning Critical Observation Research/Inquiry-Based Learning Digital/Information Literacy | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Biomedical Science reference materials Whiteboard/markers Learners' notebooks Relevant diagrams/charts/models Disease/symptom case cards Diagnostic flowcharts or sample clinical data | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Use labelled diagrams, simplified case cards, vocabulary supports, device images and stepwise prompts for learners who need additional support. Extend advanced learners with multi-factor cases, risk-benefit evaluation, source-credibility analysis, design constraints or deeper system interpretation. | ||
| Process | Use mixed-ability and gender-balanced grouping with clear roles such as observer, recorder, risk assessor, presenter or design lead. Where access to hospitals, laboratories or biomedical devices is limited, use curriculum-aligned images, videos, simulations, case data and virtual/printed workflows without changing the learning objective. | ||
| Product | Allow appropriate evidence such as risk maps, case analyses, mind maps, system diagrams, diagnostic/therapy comparison charts, research reports, design proposals or presentations. Assess biomedical accuracy, safety awareness, evidence use, scientific reasoning, ethical judgement, communication and ability to justify decisions. | ||
| Success Criteria | Learners use correct subject vocabulary. Learners complete the main task with reasonable accuracy. Learners explain or demonstrate how the concept applies in a new situation. | ||
| Homework | Complete a short application task connected to the week's learning indicator. | ||
| Lesson Activities | |||
| Stage | Teacher Activity | Learner Activity | Assessment / DoK |
| Starter10 minutes | Present a diagram, specimen, data set or everyday situation connected to explore the various roles of biomedical scientists in the society. investigate and discuss a variety of biomedical science and ask learners what they observe. | Share prior knowledge, listen to peers and record the lesson question in their notebooks. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Use a labelled diagram, model, experiment, data table or safe demonstration to explain explore the various roles of biomedical scientists in the society. investigate and discuss a variety of biomedical science. | Observe carefully, record key terms and answer oral questions. | Ask learners to identify the key feature, variable, process or relationship. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Guide groups to observe, classify, measure, compare or explain evidence related to explore the various roles of biomedical scientists in the society. investigate and discuss a variety of biomedical science. | Work in groups to complete the observation, classification, measurement or explanation task. | Review group responses for accurate science vocabulary and evidence. |
| Activity 310 minutes | Give a new case, data set or observation and ask learners to predict or explain the outcome. | Apply the concept to the new case and support the answer with evidence. | Use an exit task that asks for a prediction, explanation or calculation. |
| Lesson Closure | Summarise explore the various roles of biomedical scientists in the society. investigate and discuss a variety of biomedical science and correct one common misconception using learner examples. State one thing learned and complete the exit response. | ||
