Digestion tells the story of how we absorb nutrients from our food with beautiful animations and pictures.

You’ll use it to:

• Show the digestive system from eating, through the stomach to small and large intestines.
• Show what happens to carbohydrates, fat and protein at each stage of digestion.
• Describe what different enzymes do and where.
• Explore how pH varies through the digestive system.
• Explain about peristalsis.
• Relate the structures of the organs to their functions.
