腸の剣闘士 - 体内の生態系を探る

What will be taught?

The curriculum focuses on educating children about gut health, including the digestive system, the microbiome, the role of bacteria in the body, and how different foods and daily habits impact gut health. Children will learn how to maintain a healthy gut through proper nutrition, hydration, and understanding the balance between good and bad bacteria.

Class structure

The class is structured into 10 interactive lessons, each focusing on a specific aspect of gut health. Every lesson begins with a pre-quiz to assess the students’ prior knowledge, followed by engaging classroom activities that include stories, games, and hands-on learning. Each lesson introduces a “Gut Guardian” character that helps explain complex concepts in a child-friendly way. The lessons conclude with a discussion or reflection to reinforce what has been learned.


The teaching approach combines interactive storytelling, hands-on activities, and discussions. Each lesson is designed to be engaging and fun, using characters, stories, and games to help children understand and remember the material. Activities such as creating a ‘Healthy Plate,’ crafting a ‘Fiber Buddy,’ and participating in interactive demonstrations will make the concepts more tangible and relatable for young learners. The use of quizzes, video clips, and slides will also supplement the learning process.


My teaching style is highly interactive, engaging, and student-centered. I focus on making complex topics accessible by using storytelling, relatable characters, and hands-on activities. I believe in encouraging curiosity and critical thinking through open discussions and reflective practices. I aim to create a supportive and fun learning environment where children feel comfortable asking questions and expressing their thoughts.

Learners will have multiple opportunities to interact with me throughout the course:

	• Lectures: Brief, engaging explanations of key concepts using slides and video clips.
	•Games: Interactive games that reinforce the material, such as matching bacteria to their functions or creating healthy meal plans.
	•Hands-on Activities: Crafting activities like making a ‘Fiber Buddy’ or cooking simple probiotic snacks.
	•Discussion: Each lesson will conclude with a discussion session where students can share their thoughts, ask questions, and reflect on what they’ve learned.
	•Storytelling: I will actively engage with students through stories about the ‘Guardians of the Gut,’ making the learning experience more dynamic and enjoyable.

Overall, my teaching approach ensures that students are not just passive listeners but active participants in their learning journey.
