HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM (Lesson 5:2) Card sort task: try and put them in order

HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM (Lesson 5:3) Try and pair up these descriptions with the digestive system body parts. This long tube is where juices from the liver and pancreas help break down the food so that useful parts of it can be absorbed into the blood. This is where the non digested food is passed into and water is extracted to make the waste firmer. This is where animals store the waste from eating until it can be excreted. These cut and grind up food so that animals can eat it more easily. This is a sack which kills bad bacteria in the food and uses enzymes to start to break down the food into usable parts. This where animals put the food they want to eat. This is a strong muscular organ that helps push the food to where it can continue it s journey. This is a long muscular tube that forces the food along it. This is where animals excrete their waste.
