Can someone direct me to a simple project on the digestive system for a fourth grader.?

1. Draw and label a picture of the digestive system and trace the route that food takes through your body using a red crayon. (Hint: The picture at The Digestive System is a simpler to draw. You may want to use that site to get your drawing started.)\n \n2. Describe your digestive system. What mixes with the food when it is in the stomach? What does it do to the food? How long does food stay in each area? Share two interesting facts you learned about the digestive system.\n \n3. Draw a food pyramid and label it with the different food groups. Name the different categories of foods and how many servings a day you should eat.\n \n4. Below your food pyramid, list the food groups in a row across the paper. Under each food category list all the food you have eaten in that category for one whole day.\n \n5. Evaluate your eating habits. How did you do? What should you do differently to have a healthy body?

www.webmd.com would be a good starting point for additional resources.\n\nFor such a broad assignment, I would recommend picking the surgical procedure first. I think it would be easier to research "how an appendectomy is performed".

To get away from the undesirable problems associated with the lower part of your digestive system, I would try to develop something to do with digestion in the mouth, where sugars are first broken down. Perhaps you could collect saliva from three or four people and compare the action of the saliva of each person on dietary simple sugars, complex carbohydrates, fatty food, and foods high in protein but low in carbs and sugars. You would need to be able to test for the expected end products of digestion for each group of foods, but that would be preferable to measuring input at the oral orifice and output at the ....

I agree, this is your homework, and you need to do it.  But let me say something, so you don't pick up a mistake here.  The thin skin that holds the organs in place is not fat bodies.  It is something that is related to the embryonic development of the animal.  As the embryo develops you get three germ layers, one of which gives rise to the skin you are looking for.  As for the intestine question, ask yourself what the function of the differnt parts of the digestive tract is.  In fact, think about what it is you need to achieve in digestion.  \n\nGood luck.

I typed "9th grade biology experiment" into Yahoo Search and found some experiments.  Here's one of them: http://www.wested.org/werc/earthsystems/biology/fertilizerfrenzy.html\n\nYou may want to tweak the query to find better results.

Well I recomend Tornadoes. They made a great project for me ^^ U can actually MAKE a tornado in ur classroom WIHTOUT that dinky water bottle trick! It was a great project. Another good one is Mice and shape rocognition. U put together a maze with portals in the shape of triangles, circles and squares, and see if u can train the mice to recognize that the triangles will always lead to the food instead of what they naturally assume(circles) E-mail me for further details on the Tornado Project which I HIGHLY recomned! happiest_phantom@yahoo.com

This lacks an actual question, but I see what your teacher is aiming at. \nHint: what is the main function of the large intestin? What is reabsorbed there that you wouldn't especially need in aquatic environments?
