Posted by sat on Wed, 2016-07-13 12:58

This online resource looks at the digestive system.

The resource is an ASSIST Connected Learning Experience (CLE) to help teach Year 8 students about the digestive system in higher animals.

Description: In this investigation, the role of the digestive system is investigated in the context of modelling the human digestive system.

Learning intentions

Students will be able to:

  • describe the role of the digestive system;
  • identify the organs in the human digestive system and describe their function;
  • explain the difference between mechanical and chemical digestion and identify where each occurs in the digestive system;
  • describe the role of enzymes in the breakdown of food in the digestive system;
  • identify the question for investigation;
  • make predictions based on scientific knowledge;
  • identify variables to be changed, measured and controlled in an investigation;
  • record and represent observations and data;
  • identify patterns and trends from observations and data;
  • use patterns and trends observed to draw a conclusion;
  • explain how modifications to their investigation could improve the quality of their data.
