History

Present important demographic changes and assess the causes of these changes and their effects on people and society

What happens in this learning offer?

Increasing knowledge about infection has changed the prevention and treatment of disease over the past 150 years. Our understanding of clean and unclean is challenged in the face of examples from the history of health.

Description of the lesson:

The tour takes place in the Life and Death Exhibition and the students get to sit on chairs that they can take with them when we go around. The number of stops varies somewhat, but students can count on 3-4 different stops in the exhibition. We meet the marsh-like Maren. She lies in a box with a glass lid and the students will have the opportunity to study her while a tour guide tells about her life and death. There will also be an opportunity for a student to try lying in an iron lung if time permits.

The teacher's role

Vi ønsker at du som lærer er aktiv, deltakende og nysgjerrig sammen med barna under besøket. Elevene får best utbytte hvis de kommer forberedt, så vis gjerne elevene bilder eller «INTROVIDEOEN», fortell om hva som skal skje, og sjekk ut om det er tilhørende for- og etterarbeid til undervisningsopplegget

You as a teacher are responsible for the group during the entire visit.

Explainer is responsible for implementing the program. The teacher has overall responsibility for the students. You may be asked to help along the way.

What you need to bring

If you want an invoice, include the resource number and the correct invoice address.

You do not need to bring anything special to the Planetarium, but it is great if you have lots of questions about stars and planets.

If you have also seen the moon on a day when it is visible during the day, that is great!

Preparation:

Our learning offers do not require preparatory work, but it is always useful to prepare students for a museum visit. This can increase the learning outcomes from the museum activity, and links the classroom to the museum. Here are some wondering questions for the class, which can prepare and engage the students before they learn more about the topic at the museum

Wonder question

It is not required, but advantageous if the students have discussed the concept of hygiene in class before the museum visit.

Below are some questions that can be used as a starting point for a conversation about the history of medicine and social development.

How many people do you meet in a day and how many people did your great-great-grandmother and great-great-grandfather meet each day?
Have any of you gone on an outing? Can you see the advantages and disadvantages of old forms of sewage management?
What do you think is the most common cause of death in children in the world today?
The good news is that far fewer children die before they are 5 years old than in the 1990s. What do you think this decline is due to?
