KS3 Biology — Infectious and Non-Infectious Diseases — Extension Pack

🦠 Stretch high achievers further with four ready-to-use enrichment activities on infectious and non-infectious diseases — no preparation required. Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens such as viruses and bacteria and can spread between organisms, while non-infectious diseases cannot spread and are instead linked to lifestyle factors or genetics, and these tasks push students to apply that thinking, for KS3 students aged 11–14.

📦 What's included:

Vocabulary Matching (14 terms) — covering all key terms from the topic including pathogens, antibiotics, fungicide, risk factors, and disease types

Challenge Quiz (25 marks) — a data interpretation task using real MMR vaccination rate and measles case figures across five years, plus questions on poverty, lifestyle, and the Irish Famine

2019 Samoa Measles Outbreak Case Study (20 marks) — seven questions ranging from knowledge recall to evaluation of public health responses and community immunity

Teach It Back task — students write a revision guide for a younger student covering all key concepts, assessed with a provided rubric

Full answer keys and marking guidance included for all four activities.
