37、 microscope.He didnt test the water,nor did he draw blood or examine patients.The reason was that medical science was not so advanced at that time.Activity 6:Answer questions and talk about the contribution of Johns work.2.How has John Snows work affected our daily lives?Para.5:Through Snows tireles
38、s efforts,water companies began to sell clean water,and the threat of cholera around the world saw a substantial decrease.Moreover,in his use of maps and statistics,Snow transformed the way scientists study diseases.For this reason Activity 6:Answer questions and talk about the contribution of Johns
39、 work.2.How has John Snows work affected our daily lives?Snows work has provided readily available clean water to drink,as well as an emphasis on hygiene such as the need to wash hands after they become dirty.He also showed how to prevent cholera epidemics,and transformed the way scientists study di
40、seases,which has allowed for more protection from once common diseases such as cholera.Activity 6:Answer questions and talk about the contribution of Johns work.HomeworkWhy was it John Snow,not other doctors,who defeated King Cholera?Write about your opinion by using the information from the passage.
