The document describes a classroom activity where students learned about the digestive system by role playing different parts of the digestive tract. The students researched digestion, pulled out key vocabulary words, and then set up their classroom to mimic the human body swallowing food, with students and objects representing the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, bloodstream, and waste. Photographs were then taken of the students enacting the digestive process.

Digestion We have been learning about food and the food pyramid. We wanted to learn more about our bodies and what happens when we eat food. We decided to see Ms Pagcaliwagon who is an expert in Digestion.
We researched books to begin with and looked for key vocabulary that may help us in the session.
After pulling key resources from our vocabulary box we began to talk about the process of digestion. We set up the classroom as if it was a body swallowing food. We had tongues for the teeth, chairs for the oesophagus, bag for the stomach, pom poms for muscles, skipping rope for small intestines, children for large intestines and two hoops-one for bloodstream and one for poo.
Here are the photographs of us at work. I wonder what we were doing in each one?
