Level#1: The pancreas, liver, and gallbladder are organs that help in the process of digestion. The pancreas produces enzymes that help in digestion. The liver is a large organ that makes a substance called bile. Bile is a green liquid that helps digest fat. Bile is stored in the gallbladder.


1. What is bile and what does it help with?




2. What does the liver look like and what does it make?




3. What does the pancreas do?




4. Where is bile stored?









Level#2: The pancreas, liver, and gallbladder are organs that help in the process of digestion. The pancreas produces enzymes that help in digestion. It also produces a substance that neutralizes the acid in the stomach. The liver is a large organ that makes a substance called bile. Bile is a green liquid that helps digest fat. Bile is stored in the gallbladder.


1. What is bile and what does it help with?




2. Describe the liver and what it makes to assist in digestion?




3. List the three organs that help in the digestive process.




4. What does the pancreas do to assist with digestion?




5. What other job does the pancreas do?










Level#3: The pancreas, liver, and gallbladder are organs that help in the process of digestion. The pancreas produces enzymes that help in digestion. It also produces a substance that neutralizes the acid in the stomach. This neutralizer is important because the small intestine could be damaged by the acid. The liver is a large organ that makes a substance called bile. Bile is a green liquid that helps digest fat. Bile is stored in the gallbladder. The bile is pushed out of the gallbladder into the small intestine.


1. Where is bile stored and how is it used in the digestive system?




2. What is bile and where is it produced?




3. What are the three organs that assist in the process of digestion?




4. What does the pancreas do?




5. What other job does the pancreas do and why is it important?

Subject: Digestion: What happens to the food you eat after it leaves the esophagus and enters the stomach?

Level#1

Food passes from the esophagus into the stomach. Food can stay in the stomach for up to six hours. The stomach is made of muscle it moves the food around to help it digest.


1. Where does the food go after it leaves the esophagus?




2. How long can food stay in the stomach?




3. What is the stomach made of?




Level#2

Food passes from the esophagus into the stomach. Food can stay in the stomach for up to six hours. Like the mouth mechanical and chemical digestion take place in the stomach. Muscles in the stomach move the food around. Enzymes and acids are released to break down the food chemically.


1. Where does the food go after it leaves the esophagus?



2. When the muscles in your stomach are moving the food around what type of digestion is taking place?




3. How are your mouth and your stomach alike?




4. What is released in your stomach to break down the food chemically?





Level#3

Food passes from the esophagus into the stomach. Food can stay in the stomach for up to six hours. Like the mouth mechanical and chemical digestion take place in the stomach. Muscles in the stomach move the food around. Enzymes and acids are released to break down the food chemically.
The body produces a coating of mucus to protect the stomach lining from these acids.




1. When the muscles in your stomach are moving the food around what type of digestion is taking place?



2. How are your mouth and your stomach alike?




3.  What is released in your stomach to break down the food chemically?




4. What does the body do to protect the stomach lining from the acids it uses to digest food?

1. Explain what the esophagus is.






2. Explain what the esophagus does when you swallow food.





3. What connects the mouth to the stomach?

The esophagus is a food tube made of muscle. Muscles in the esophagus squeeze together, involuntarily, to push the food down toward the stomach. It connects the mouth to the stomach.

1. What is the esophagus and what is it made of?




2. How does the esophagus do its job and what job does it do?




3. When the esophagus does its job of pushing the food towards the stomach what type of muscle action is involved?

The esophagus is a food tube made of muscle. Muscles in the esophagus squeeze together, involuntarily, to push the food down toward the stomach. It connects the mouth to the stomach. There is a flap of tissue called the epiglottis between these two opening. the epiglottis closes when you swallow. This keeps food from going down the windpipe and prevents you from choking.


1. Explain what the esophagus is and what it is made of.






2. What does the epiglottis do when we swallow?

Subject: Digestion: What begins to happen to the food you place in your mouth?

Name:

Date:

Directions: Use the information you have been given to answer questions about: What begins to happen to the food you place in your mouth? 

Level#1

The mouth is the place where digestion begins. Food is broken down into smaller pieces by the teeth. Breaking, crushing, and mashing food are forms of mechanical digestion.

1. What begins in the mouth?





2. What do we use to break food down into smaller pieces in our mouth?





3. How do we mechanically digest food in our mouth?







Level#2

The mouth is the place where digestion begins. Food is broken down into smaller pieces by the teeth. Breaking, crushing, and mashing food are forms of mechanical digestion. An enzyme is a substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction. When a chemical reaction happens in the digestive system, the process is called chemical digestion.

1. What begins in the mouth?




2. What do we use to break down food into smaller pieces in our mouth?





3. How do we mechanically digest food in our mouth?





4. What needs to happen for the process of chemical digestion to go on?










Level#3

The mouth is the place where digestion begins. Food is broken down into smaller pieces by the teeth. Breaking, crushing, and mashing food are forms of mechanical digestion. An enzyme is a substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction. When a chemical reaction happens in the digestive system, the process is called chemical digestion. Teeth are covered in a hard material called enamel. They also have roots. The roots contain nerves and blood vessels. Humans have four types of teeth: canine, incisors, premolars, and molars.

1. What begins in the mouth?




2. What do we use to break food down into smaller pieces in our mouth?




3. How do we mechanically digest food in our mouth?




4. When does the process of chemical digestion occur?




5. What are contained in the roots of human teeth?
