Bacteria. :: Video for Kids - Free - Science for Kids :: Digestive System, Digestion Information, Digestive System Facts, News, Photos. The digestive system is the series of tubelike organs that convert our meals into body fuel. In all there's about 30 feet (9 meters) of these convoluted pipeworks, starting with the mouth and ending with the anus. Along the way, food is broken down, sorted, and reprocessed before being circulated around the body to nourish and replace cells and supply energy to our muscles. Food on the plate needs to become a mashed-up, gooey liquid for the digestive system to be able to split it up into its constituent parts: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals.

Our teeth start the process by chewing and grinding up each mouthful, while the tongue works it into a ball-shaped bolus for swallowing. Moistening saliva fed into the mouth from nearby glands starts the process of chemical digestion using specialized proteins called enzymes. Once we swallow, digestion becomes involuntary. Key Players Other organs that play a key role in digestion include the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. The Circulation Game. Purpose of activity: To learn (or review) information about circulation.

Basic science concepts covered: distribution of oxygen to cells and carbon dioxide to lungs via red blood cells, production of red blood cells in bone, delivery of sugar and protein to cells via the blood stream, delivery of wastes to the kidneys for disposal out of the body, the heart as the driving force that keeps the blood moving, the "map" of the circulatory system in and out of lungs, heart and body parts. Description: This is a two-team game that can accommodate 2-6 players (possibly 7 or 8). Players spin the heart spinner to find out how many beats the team gets that turn. Each player gets to move either a blood cell or a food or waste token towards its goal--either cells or the lungs or the kidneys. Oxygen and carbon dioxide must ride on top of red blood cells.

Food and waste molecules can simply move along the track without the help of a red blood cell. Target age group: ages 8-14.

Radioactive Decay: A Sweet Simulation of Half-Life. PiccoloNamek [GFDL or CC-BY-SA-3.0], via Wikimedia Commons Introduction In this simulation, you will use small pieces of candy marked on one side. They will be your “nuclei.” You also need a paper towel on which to place your “nuclei.” 1. Count your nuclei (candy). 2. 3. 4. Analysis:1. Pendulum Lesson Plans Reviewed by Teachers. Why Select Other Criteria? Sometimes you only have 45 minutes to review participles before Tuesday's assembly, or you need curriculum you know was reviewed after a certain date.

Duration: If curriculum authors indicate how long it takes to implement a resource, i.e. a 30-minute vocabulary exercise, a three-day science experiment, or a two-week expository writing project, we note it for you. If not, our teacher reviewers may indicate an estimated amount of time it would take. When you select a duration in this box, you'll see only resources with that stated duration. Reviewed After: Limit the resources you see to those reviewed since the date you choose by clicking the box and making a selection. Radioactive Decay: A Sweet Simulation of a Half-life. PiccoloNamek [GFDL or CC-BY-SA-3.0], via Wikimedia Commons Purpose To demonstrate that the rates of decay of unstable nuclei can be measured, that the exact time that a certain nucleus will decay cannot be predicted, and that it takes a very large number of nuclei to find the rate of decay.

Context This is the second lesson in a three-lesson series about isotopes, radioactive decay, and the nucleus. To do this lesson and understand half-life and rates of radioactive decay, students should understand ratios and the multiplication of fractions, and be somewhat comfortable with probability. In this lesson, students will be asked to simulate radioactive decay by pouring small candies, such as plain M&M's® or Skittles®, from a cup and counting which candies fall with their manufacturer's mark down or up. This lesson can be done in two, 45-minute class periods.

Planning Ahead Before the lesson, you will have to weigh out about 80 candies for each group of students. Motivation Development Assessment. Science Worksheets. KS2 Bitesize: Science - Materials.
