We have been learning all about the Digestive System in our Science lessons. We recreated the Digestive System using tights, Coke, bread, toothpaste and a food bag.
This is what we did…
We looked at a tube of toothpaste to show how the oesophagus works. We know that the oesophagus uses muscles to squeeze the food down into our stomach.
We then looked at Coke and bread to demonstrate how the acid in our stomach breaks down the food.
After that, we used a pair of tights to show how the small intestine works. We could see how water and nutrients are absorbed through the walls into the blood.
