raw materials to produce new cells, repair
damaged parts, and produce energy.

• What happened?
• How did the taste change? Why?
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Answer: Bread is a complex carbohydrate
(starch).

• Answer: Bread is a complex carbohydrate
(starch). The ptyalin in your saliva along
with your chewing broke the large sugar
molecules into smaller (more sweet) sugar
molecules.

• Chewing your food is an important part of
digestion.

• Chewing your food is an important part of
digestion.
– Your stomach has no teeth.
– Chewing allows the chemical digestion
process to act on your food more easily.
– Relax and enjoy, take your time, chew often.

• What is this?
• When you swallow (reflex), your muscles
(tongue) move food into your throat and
cause your epiglottis to close.

– Peristalsis can move food against gravity.
– Please make item something that won’t cause
a choking hazard. (chew prior)

• Activity! Digestion Simulation
– In the following simulation, we will be placing
food into an assembly line that breaks apart
instead of put together.
– The class will be divided into various stations /
organs of the digestive system.
– Each station will either be mechanical
digestion, chemical digestion, or both.
– Students will add “chemicals” with spray
bottles or mechanically shake / wave the bag
and then pass it to the next group.

• The GI Tract begins in the mouth where food is
broken down mechanically and chemically. The
food passes through the pharynx and is moved
down the esophagus to the stomach. Acid and
movement break the food down further.
Chemicals are produced and then released in
the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas to the small
intestine. Food is broken up further in the
intestine and nutrients are absorbed. Water is
absorbed in the large intestine and vitamins
made. The waste is collects in the rectum until
disposal.
