Year 4 and the digestive system

In Science, we have been learning about the digestive system and what happens to food once it enters the human body. We simulated this by using a plastic bag with a weetabix to crush like the mouth would. Then, we poured orange juice into the bag to represent stomach acid and bile. Finally, we pushed the mixture through a pair of tights, aka the intestines, before squeezing out of the anus, aka the end of the tights. 

The children found this to be a mixture of amazing and slightly disgusting. 

To end the lesson, they acted out being the digestive system ! Have a look and see if you can spot which organs they are and which part of the digestive process is taking place.
