This Year 4 How Does the Digestive System Work? Worksheet allows pupils to demonstrate their understanding of digestion. Using a simple diagram, children will explain what happens to food as it moves through each part of the digestive system, supporting them in developing a clear understanding of the journey food takes through the body.

This activity can be completed independently or as part of a paired or group task. There are plenty of opportunities for discussion around how our bodies work, why digestion is important, and how to keep our bodies healthy.

This activity works brilliantly alongside our Year 4 How Does the Human Digestive System Work? Teaching PowerPoint. Download now!
