Introduction
We all love and need food. But we don't usually think about our food after we've eaten it. What happens to the food when we eat it? Where does it go? How does the body digest it? What is it used to do? Let's Find out!!
You are a team of scientists trying to explore the organs of digestive system with the path of food in the body, and find out how some enzymes function.
You'll be artists and create a model of the digestive system.
Task
At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
1- List the main organs of the digestive system
2- Know in sequential order how food moves through the digestive system
3- The role of each enzyme
4- Design a model of the digestive system
Process
Task 1: Watch the following video about:
- The different organs of the digestive system
- The path of food through the digestive system
Task 2: Research paper about the role of the following enzymes:
- Salivary amylase
- Pepsin
- Trypsin
- Intestinal amylase
Task 3: Implement a model about the digestive system with labels
Evaluation
1- Draw and label a scheme of the digestive system
2- Each group should present the function of an enzyme (group work)
Conclusion
Congratulations you have completed the introductory lesson on the digestive system. You should have learnt about the importance of the digestive system and the main organs involved in digestion, you should also understand the role of enzymes in digestion. You did it!!!
