Today we did an experiment on the digestive system!

First, we added banana and cornflakes into a bowl which represented our mouth,

Next we added water which represents saliva which contains enzymes which help to digest our food.

Next we added the mixture to our sandwich bag which represented our oesophagus  and added coloured water which represented different enzymes.

Then the mixtures was pushed by muscles into our stomach and churned around.

Then it went into our small intestine (which is actually the longer one!) and water and nutrients were absorbed into the bloodstream (the bowl.) Next, it went to the large intestine and excess water was removed.

Finally, the waste product was pushed out into the bowl – look at our faces!
