Year 4 Teeth and Digestive System Planning - Making Poo!

This is a series of lesson plans meeting the Year 4 objectives of teeth and digestion. The planning includes a really exciting lesson where the children actually make poo! My Year 4 class, last year, absolutely loved this lesson and they really remembered all of the names of the digestive system afterwards. The list of equipment you need is included in the planning (nothing unusual) and I asked the dinner ladies at our school to keep any leftovers from that day in a bucket to be able to make the poo with. There are also worksheets attached for some written evidence about teeth too.

There is also the plan for an experiment to show tooth decay - I did this by putting eggs into different liquids that the children chose - the worksheet for the children to predict and plan this is also attached.
