A webquest on the Digestive System designed for 10th graders

Introduction

"Grrrrrrrrrrr" Thats the sound our stomach makes when we are hungry. We also begin to feel weak and droopy like someone has drained all the energy from our bodies. Ofcourse, our next move would be to eat a meal weather it be a burger, pizza, fried chicken my favourite, or a patty. After eating this meal something amazing happens! we start to feel energetic and like our normal selves. How does our body do that? How do we get energy from food? If your answer was our digestive system helps then you are correct.
