The Human Digestive System

Year 4 children spent an afternoon exploring the human digestive system as part of their science topic this term.

Crushed Weetabix (food) was mixed with water (saliva) and orange juice (stomach acids) then squeezed through some tights (small intestine) to separate the solids from the nutrients, then passed through 2 cups (anus) to pass the faeces into the bowl (toilet).

The children found it very engaging and loved the hands-on experience.
