Digestive System

Grade/Class: Grade 5 Science

Context: Student learn about the Human Body and the 5 major systems (and their organs) that allow the body to operate.

Learning: Through our investigation into the Human Body, the students were given the opportunity for some “hands-on” work of the digestive system. They were asked to trace the outline of someone in their group and then to paste all the appropriate organs that are involved in the system. The students had an absolute blast tracing each other and figuring out the proper placement of all the different organs. Some of them were very surprised how much space some of the organs take up!"
