We recreated the digestive process in Science today. We tore bread into small pieces (like incisors biting), added saliva (water) and mashed it all up with a fork (molars chewing and grinding).
We then transferred it to a plastic bag (stomach) and added digestive acid (orange juice) and enzymes (yellow food colouring). We mixed it all up in the bag then transferred it to the intestines (a leg from a pair of tights). In the intestines we added more enzymes and some bile (green food colouring). We used kitchen rool to squeeze out the excess moisture then cut off the bottom of our tights to release the faeces (poo)
