Your Digestive System - Presentation

This presentation is designed to accompany the STEM activity “Digestion Detectives” where students learn about the organs in their digestive system and then complete a piece of visual art to show off what they have learned.

Learning goals

  • We are learning about life cycles and to sort living, non-living and once-living things based on observable features.
