This resource includes ten new, easily accessible activities that can be run in the classroom (or at home). 'Choose Your Own Pathology Adventure' was developed when we were in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic – it offers a range of simple activities for 8 to 14 year olds that use everyday materials like paper clips, card, cocktail sticks and beads. While we're not in lockdown anymore, the activities are still a great option for learning through fun activities without needing to buy lots of equipment or materials.
Follow the flowchart based on whatever materials you have available and then find the corresponding activity in this pack. Each activity is linked to a pathology specialty and is suitable for individuals or small student groups. Ideally, these should be run alongside an online video chat or a demonstration by a pathologist.
