19/08 2:44pm-02/07 12am: Body Works

Becks Andrew — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 14:21:53 GMT

When: 2:44pm, Mon, 19 Aug '24 - 12am, Thu, 02 Jul '26

During the session there will be 4 group activity stations for the students to try out. A maximum of 30 students per 1h session. The activities are as follows:

1. Looking at skulls and bones – we have models of a t-rex and a triceratops skull to compare the difference between herbivore/carnivore teeth and jaws which the children can touch. We also have a plastic human skeleton model that we will bring, and think about how our teeth are designed for our varied, healthy diet.

2. Microscopes - looking at slides that contain tissues of different parts of the digestive system (stomach, oesophagus, intestine)

3. Put your insides in - we draw an outline around a child on a large piece of paper. Then as a team, children figure out where our internal organs belong. We talk about what each organ's job is, and which other organs it has to cooperate with.

4. Chewing to pooing - using weetabix, orange juice, a ziploc bag and 20-denier tights, we think about the journey that food takes between when it gets eaten and when it gets eliminated. This is a messy activity, and quite gross, but children generally love it!

Contact Dr Marwan Albuhtori via marwan.albuhtori@warwick.ac.uk, or Dr Christine Lockey at c.lockey.1@warwick.ac.uk to book your session. For more sessions offered by the School of Life Sciences, please visit the outreach webpage: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/lifesci/outreach/.
