The speckled monster
This resource consists of three separate activities designed as an introduction to smallpox and the development of vaccinations resulting from Edward Jenner’s ideas, investigations and collection of evidence. Activity (a) introduces Jenner’s work through the JAMES film. Children then take part in a smallpox outbreak simulation to learn about the spread of disease and immunity. In Activity (b) children use their knowledge from Activity (a) to draw and interpret a graph based on data from a real smallpox outbreak. In Activity (c) children consider the evidence that Jenner collected.
