Poo transplants: Thinking Classroom version

A poo transplant takes faeces from one person and puts it into another. Why? Scientists have learned that this can improve physical and mental health by changing a person's gut microbiome - the bacteria living in the intestines.

In this activity, students advise an obese friend whether a faecal transplant could help him lose weight.

Poo transplants is designed to take around one lesson. It could be used at the end of a teaching sequence to practice higher-order thinking.

The new version integrates practices from Peter Liljedahl's Thinking Classroom, with a 3-part structure to support student thinking in collaborative groups:

CARE: Students are introduced to the issue and posed a question
KNOW: Students review the prior knowledge they will need to complete the task
DO: Students read sources and judge their quality

Curriculum links

Concept: Digestive system
Skill: Judge quality of a source

Poo transplants is a resource developed for the CONNECT project.
