Wackiest Lesson Plan EVER

I was just cruising around the net looking at different teacher lesson plans, ferreting away good ideas in my noggin. I came across the lesson plan to end all lesson plans.
It involves showing a clip from Eddie Murphy’s The Nutty Professor film to teach the digestive system, including bacterial induced flatulence and the lower bowel area. Ahem. I know.
The clip shows the Klump family around the dinner table eating and being generally gassy.
Mama Klump: I think I do remember hearing somethin’ on TV about colon cleansin’. They say everyone should have one. I’m thinkin’ about gettin’ me an appointment and go down and get my colon cleansed thoroughly.
Papa Klump: You want your colon cleansed? Fine, I’m gonna clean mine! [Farts.] There, my colon is clean. My colon is squeaky clean!
The lesson plan suggests asking students about gas, what foods are being eaten in the clip that cause gas, the role bacteria plays in gas, chewing food, and the benefits of the colon cleanse.
As an assessment, the lesson plan suggests you have the student chart the pathway through the digestive system of one of the foods shown being eaten in the clip, and so forth.
It would probably really engage the students. That’s the upside. The downside is that it’s gross. But then, I suppose with children of a certain age, that’s actually another thing in its favor.
oh, that’s not gross.
you want to know the definition of gross?
Oh, I will NOT tell you now…
Heh…Sherman Klump and family…what a gang.
“Somebody call my name?”
“Yeah, I called your name if it’s [flatulence]!”
Sometimes it’s funny at any age.
