AGENT B

THE MICROBIOME

The human body is home to trillions of tiny bacteria that help keep us healthy.

In this module, pupils will explore the microbiome and learn how nutrients and “good bacteria” support digestion, physical health and even mental wellbeing.

Start with the pre-learning videos to build understanding of key vocabulary and scientific concepts linked to gut health and nutrition. Pupils will then complete the main task, exploring how the digestive system works and how food choices can support a healthy body and mind. The quiz at the end helps reinforce key learning and assess understanding.
