The teacher sources a pig’s entire digestive system frozen in order to teach his children about the system. He and another teacher clean the organs with a hose in the garden. To store the entrails, they seal it with a clean towel in an airtight plastic box in the fridge.
To honor the student’s sensitivities about use of real animal organs, he discusses the school’s policy to never use animals that were killed only for this purpose. He also makes sure to be aware if a student may not take part for religious reasons.
At first, the student’s reactions look disgusted and squeamish, but their interest grows as the teacher reviews each part and shows them the physical qualities of the tissues that they have learned about it theory. By the end, the students have taken it in stride and feel grateful to have had an ‘inside look’.

This is a great demonstration of proper health standards of using specimens in lab. Using fresh entrails rather than pickled specimens allowed the kids a way to get the most natural look at the body and organs. It was great to see a dynamic yet precise instructor narrate the course material in a way that was understandable to the students.
