After spending six weeks studying the skeletal system
the youngest students turned their attention to the digestive system. First we
listened to the book What Happens to a Hamburger? As we read this
informative and funny book children followed the journey of what happens to our
food from the moment we start to chew. In the process they learned vocabulary
words such as mouth, saliva, esophagus, stomach, small Intestine, large
intestine, and of course the anus, Children took part in centers where they measured
how long the small intestine is. They observed an experiment showing what
happens in your stomach to food, and how food dissolves in liquid. Finally
children collaboratively created a three dimensional model of the digestive
system which was presented to the rest of the school
