Kinesthetic grade 5 students acted out the process of digestion in an interesting activity.
First, we placed several M &Ms in a small plastic bag.
Then, we placed the bag of candies along with wadded papers in a plastic container.
Finally, we brought spray bottles filled with water that demonstrated the juices in our digestive system; we labeled them as Saliva, gastric juice, pancreatic juice, and bile.
Now it’s grade 5 students turn to model the digestive system. Students were divided into 2 groups and lined up facing each other. The path between them is the digestive tract. All the students worked together to push the food particles down the tract. I assigned a job for each pairs of students, based on their position along the digestive tract. The first 2 students were the molars that cut food into small pieces. Then the second 2 students were the saliva, stomach, small intestine, blood, large intestine, and finally the rectum.
At the end of this activity we all enjoyed eating the delicious M & Ms.
