Life Science, Week 10

The Stomach & Digestive System

Lots of yummy resources available for the digestive system! Tessa's totally into learning how her body works. Want to know what happens to a piece of food after you eat it? She's your girl!

Thursday

After chewing a piece of apple to start the digestive process, Tessa watched as I blended the rest of the apple with a little water in my Vitamix to illustrate how food turns into mush in our stomachs.

Friday

Following Monday
  • Completed Teacher Created Resources My Body by Patty Carratello "My Stomach" (pages 25-26), "My Small and Large Intestines" (pages 27-29), and "My Liver" (pages 30-31) activities. ("My Pancreas" and "My GallBladder," which are both on pages 14-15, could be completed as well, but it was too much for one day. We may complete them next week.)
  • Explored Leapfrog Tag Interactive Human Body Discovery Pack "Your Digestive System" section.

  1. You might want to check out the Squishy Human Body Model by Smartlab, if you don't already have it. My daughter and I are also doing a unit on the Human Body (with RSO)and it was a huge hit with her!
