Olympic Park Class: The Digestive System

Your homework this week is to make notes about the digestive system. Please do this on paper-do not write on the blog for this activity.

Make sure that you make notes, rather than write in full sentences. Please do not just copy out information.

For example using this information,

Information from the website:

Chewing - Chewing is the first stage of the digestive system. When you chew your food it breaks up big pieces into little pieces that are easier to digest and swallow. Also, your saliva is more than just water. It has special enzymes in it that start to break down starchy food (potatoes, bread) while you chew.

I can make these notes.

My notes:

Chewing: first stage, breaks up big pieces easier to digest. Saliva, special enzymes for starchy food.;
