Ever wonder how food like pizza or spaghetti moves through our body? It
all happens in our digestive system, otherwise known as our guts.
Working twenty-four hours a day, it makes sure the food we eat turns
into energy, nutrients, and waste.
In this revised edition, featuring clear text and stunning full-color
photographs, Seymour Simon takes us step-by-step through the digestive
system.
Readers will learn all about digestion, from the moment you chew your
food to when it moves throughout your major organs, such as the stomach
and intestines, and how waste is eventually eliminated. Most
importantly, he explains how something that happens inside everyone,
every day, is such an essential part of our human body.
Perfect for young scientists' school reports, this book includes an
author's note, a glossary, and an index and supports the Common Core
State Standards.
