available.
5. Shake the reseal able plastic bag. Shake
until all are mixed well.

and other food after shaking the
reseal able bag?
2. Have you eaten your meal today?
3. Where do you think will these foods
go after you swallowed it?

your activity. How are they similar?
5. Will the food stay in the stomach for
a long time?

is broken down into small
pieces?
ACTIVITY no. 2

material?
4. What will happen to those that did
not went through the paper towel?
5. Which organ is similar to the paper
towel?
DIGESTION IN THE STOMACH
The food we eat gives us energy to work
and play.
Without food, the other parts of the body
like bones and muscles and the internal
organs do not have energy to function.
However, before our body can make use
of any food that is eaten, it must be
broken down into liquid form or into
smaller nutrients.
DIGESTION- is the process by
which food is broken down
into nutrients.
Digestion takes place as soon
as we start to chew our food.
The tongue, lips, and cheeks
move the food between the
teeth to break it down into
small pieces.
SALIVA- from the salivary glands
mixes with the food to soften it.
Saliva also kills bacteria and breaks
down starches into sugars.
So, digestion of starches starts in
the MOUTH.
Moist food from the MOUTH goes
down to stomach.
In the stomach, food is broken
down into smaller particles.
As the muscles contract and relax,
food in the stomach is squeezed,
twisted and churned.
While the food is being physically
changed in the stomach, digestive
enzymes and juices are also
combined to change in into
nutrients.
The process of digestion is both
mechanical and chemical.
The mechanical part breaks down food
into small its by chewing of food in the
mouth and squeezing of food particles
in the stomach.
The chemical part of digestion is the
mixing of food particles with chemicals
in the saliva and stomach which
changes it into nutrients that can be
absorbed by the body.
Further action of enzymes in the small
intestine completes the process of
chemical digestion.
Food stays in the stomach for four hours
until the food turns into a thick liquid.
The food that has been moistened,
chewed in the mouth and mixed with
chemicals or enzymes in the stomach
goes into your small intestine.
SMALL INTESTINE
The SMALL INTESTINE is about 2.5 cm
wide and 7 m long coiled tube where
food is finally digested and absorbed
The walls of the small intestine are
made of muscles that squeeze food and
continuously move it.
It contains digestive juices and other
enzymes that help break the food into
nutrients.
Thus, final digestion takes place in
the SMALL INTESTINE.
The nutrients are then absorbed by
the small intestines then go into
your blood stream.
The blood carries these nutrients
to the different parts of the body.
