Short description

As people live longer the demand for new organs to replace failed ones increases. One possible solution is to build new organs in a dish from cells taken from the patient’s own body. Students use evidence from case studies to work out if this is possible and then to decide whether this new technology offers a good alternative to transplants.

Learning objective

  • Apply knowledge about cells, tissues and organs in a new context.
  • Access, evaluate and synthesise relevant information to decide if a new technology will be possible in the next ten years.

    Really engaged

    Pupils really engaged with the idea of growing organs in a lab, really effective way of developing appreciation of application of science in the real world. I used this in a KS3 lesson and the differentiated core asks worked well with all my students. Thank you!
