This week, the students engaged in some more practical activities to learn about measuring and the digestive system.

We estimated and measured various items in the classroom as well as different body parts.

In our UOI work, we conducted an experiment to explore what the stomach does to our food.. The students discussed how we need to chew our food and then the stomach will break down the food further with gastric juices. Swallowing food whole is not a good idea and if the food is not soft enough before it travels to the small intestine, we will get a really bad tummy ache!
