What is the digestive system and why is it so important?

Today in Science we had a lot of fun learning about the function of different parts of the digestive system. We used a slice of bread to help us understand what happens at various stages. It got a bit messy at some points!!!!

Chewing: the teeth break up the food
Spit: saliva mixes with the food
Stomach Acid: Food is squeezed and mixed in the stomach
Sent to the intestines: where the water and nutrients are absorbed
