Digestion

Service Description

Calling all human biologists! Take a journey through the human body as we travel the route that food takes from entering through to exiting the body. Identify the organs that are involved in this important process and find out the role that enzymes play. We have a lot to digest in this hands-on science session. Gross alert for the third digestion experiment where we model the process of digestion! All activities are optional and will be demonstrated so your child can either watch along, join in at the time or do them later. Please check the resource list below. Join us live online to get the most out of the session, however, classes will be recorded so if something comes up, you will be able to catch the session on replay till the end of term. One ticket is per family/household so siblings can join in together for 45 minutes of science fun!
