The Process of Digestion

This afternoon Room 4 explored the digestive system. First of all we made a human digestion system outside with a food tube, stomach and intestines. Then in the classroom we made stomachs out of plastic bags.First we put in a piece of bread which was like the sandwich we ate at lunch time. Then Mrs Ogilvy added some digestive juices (lemon mist) and then we squeezed the bags to make our food into a smoothy just like the stomach does! We learnt that water was also very important because it is part of our digestive juices.


Looking at our stomach!

Squeezing those stomachs!

Mrs Ogilvy added the digestive juices.
