  1. EPICS Food: Monday, 2.8.10 Digestive System: Structure & Functions • Homework: • Fill out the preference sheet for project topics & partners • You may want to do a bit of web research on the topics you’re interested in before ranking your preferences • Do Now: • Hand in the Heart/Artery Questions • Think back to 9th grade bio… what’s the difference between MECHANICAL or PHYSICAL digestion versus CHEMICAL digestion? • Today’s Objectives: • Extract scientific information from a variety of textbook sources • Trace the path of food molecules through the digestive system

  2. Where We’re Going Next • Brief review (2 days) of Digestive System (recall 9th grade digestion project…) • Small-group projects/presentations exploring an aspect of human body systems in more depth • Larger up-coming projects: • Team project: Develop and present a lesson combining food, cooking, and an aspect of human health • Most likely for middle school children at Margaret Fuller House • Individual final project on Human Body Systems & Food • Story, picture book, or pamphlet… will allow creativity!

  3. digestive System EPICS Food Week of 2/8/10

  4. Functions of the Digestive System • Break down food into small enough pieces that it can be absorbed into the bloodstream • Mechanical/physical digestion: breaks food chunks into smaller pieces • Ex: bagel  bagel crumbs • Chemical digestion: breaks large molecules into small molecules • Ex: starch  glucose • Release waste/un-digestible materials

  5. Today’s Agenda & Goals • Work in groups to take notes on an assigned section of the digestive system. Group 1: BSCS book, Mouth – Stomach Group 2: BSCS book, Small Intestine – Anus Group 3: Dragonfly book, Mouth – Stomach Group 4: Dragonfly book, Small Intestine – Anus • Jigsaw – Split into new groups to share the info you’ve found. Goals: • Extract info from textbooks and compare sources • Follow the path of food molecules through the entire digestive system

  6. EPICS Food: Tuesday, 2.9.10 Digestive System: Structure & Functions • Homework: • Mini-Reflection on Digestive System – See assignment sheet for the specific prompts – but due FRIDAY not Thursday! • Do Now: • Make sure you have nothing in your mouth. If you’ve just eaten/drank something other than water, go get a quick drink. • Take a very small bite of cracker and gently chew it, keeping it near the front of your tongue. Squish it around in your mouth for a minute or two (again, keep it near the front of your tongue). Pay attention to the taste – does it change over time? • Today’s Objective: • Identify the structures and functions of the major organs in the digestive system • Trace the path of food molecules through the digestive system

  7. EPICS Food: Thursday, 2.11.10 Digestive System: Structure & Functions • Homework: • Mini-Reflection on Digestive System – See assignment sheet for the specific prompts –due TOMORROW • Do Now: • Get out your Digestive System chart and prepare to journey into the colon… • Today’s Objectives: • Identify the structures and functions of the major organs in the digestive system • Trace the path of food molecules through the digestive system • Start the Food & Human Health Mini-Projects

  8. EPICS Food: Friday, 2.12.10 Food & Human Health Project: Individual Work Time • Homework: • Take notes / do research / assemble images for your section of the project • Remember to record all source information as you go! • Do Now: • Pass the Digestive System Mini-Reflection forward • Today’s Agenda/Objectives: • Group planning: Map out your work schedule • Individual Work Time • Take notes / do research on your section of the project
