About Digestion Lab

Use food-test evidence, trace digestive-system functions, explain enzyme roles and interpret bounded gut-microbiome evidence. Correct answers can trigger celebrations. Feedback and retry options depend on the game.

Curriculum purpose

Learning objective: Connect nutrients, organs, adaptations, enzymes and microorganisms while keeping health conclusions appropriately bounded.

Curriculum anchor: England KS3 Science: nutrition and digestion; tissues and organs; enzymes as biological catalysts; health and evidence.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Ask the learner to trace where a process happens, name the substance involved and state what the evidence cannot diagnose. Take a break when you need one.
