ABSTRACT

This chapter describes the simple functions of the basic parts of the digestive system in humans. It identifies the different types of teeth in humans and their simple functions. The chapter describes scientific procedures and clear instructions that outline the simple equipment required for modelling the digestive system and the teeth. It provides National Curriculum assessment indicators and illustrates how to carry out the primary science experiments and what results to expect. Suggestions for adapting each procedure or activity to the special needs and interests of the students are discussed.
