We carried out an experiment to see what happened to the food we eat. Each child in a group took a different role in the digestive system.
Setting up the experiment. What can we taste when we eat?
Teeth -We used scissors to represent teeth to chop up the bread.
Saliva -we added water and bicarbonate soda to represent saliva.
Digestive juices and other waste foods- food colouring and vinegar were also added.
Stomach muscles-we squashed and squelched the bag to represent the muscles in the stomach working.
Intestines-the mixture is passed through tights to represent the intestines.
