This post will include an activity of reading so I would like you to do the activity on your own.
Having done it, we will have to do some work on the
wikespaces which I have created for all of you.

The Mouth Starts Everything Moving
Your digestive system started working even before you took the firstbite of your pizza. And the digestive system will be busy at work on your chewed up lunch for the next few hours - or sometimes days, depending upon what you've eaten.
This process, called digestion,allows your body to get the nutrients and energy it needs from the foodyou eat. So let's find out what's happening to thatpizza, orange, and milk.
Even before you eat, when you smell a tasty food, see it, or think about it, digestion begins. Saliva, or spit begins to form in your mouth.
When you do eat, the saliva breaks down the chemicals in the food abit, which helps make the food mushy and easy to swallow. Your tongue helps out, pushing the food around while you chew with your teeth.
When you're ready to swallow, the tongue pushes a tiny bit ofmushed up food called a bolus toward the back of your throat and into the opening of your esophagus, the second part of the digestive tract.
TO GO TO Wikispace AND DO SOME WORK.
Enjoy your work!!!
