I will modify it by making it a team effort. I have 9 students. The first group will represent what happens in the mouth and esophagus. The second group will represent what occurs in the stomach. The third group will represent the small intestine. The fourth group will represent the large intestine.

I like that the students will be able to build a model and meet some of the engineering standards with the NGSS. It has the students look at various processes of digestion while also getting to build and construct a model.

Will definitely try this next year but worried that the students may not come through by bringing in materials when the time came.
