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?

Level#1

The esophagus is a food tube made of muscle. It squeezes together and pushes the food down toward the stomach. It connects the mouth to the stomach.

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






2. Explain how the esophagus moves food down toward the stomach.





3. What does the esophagus connect?




4. What is Ponyboy's favorite thing to drink?





Level#2

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. Explain the job/role that the esophagus does when we swallow food.




2. What is the esophagus made of ?




3. Do we control the action of the esophagus as it pushes the food toward the stomach?



4. Who do you think eats a healthier diet the Socs or the Greasers and why do you think that is?

Level#3

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 the job/role that the esophagus does when we swallow food.






2. What is the esophagus made of ?





3. Do we control the action of the esophagus as it pushes the food toward the stomach?

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 your 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 in to 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?
