This gives our body energy,

system as a whole. Instructions:

Research Phase:

Divide students into small

groups.
Assign each group a
section of the digestive
system (e.g., mouth and
esophagus, stomach,
small intestine, etc.).
Have them research the
functions of their
assigned organs and the
digestion process that
occurs there.
Creative Phase:

Each group will create a

visual representation of
their section. They can
draw, use printed images,
or create a 3D model.
 Include key points about
what happens in that part
of the digestive system.
Presentation Phase:

Groups will present their

section to the class,
explaining the role of
their assigned organs in
the digestion process.
Assembly Phase:

Once all groups have

presented, collaborate to
assemble a large class
poster that depicts the
entire digestive system,
illustrating the flow of
food from the mouth to
the anus.
Reflection:

After completing the

activity, have students
write a short paragraph
reflecting on what they
learned about digestion.
