Digestive system resources.
This website has some really useful links that can teach children about the digestive system in a fun and interactive way. There are links to books that can be used.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The human digestive system is a complex series of organs and glands that processes food. In order to use the food we eat as energy, our body has to break the food down into smaller molecules that it can process; it also has to excrete (or get rid of) waste.

Most of the digestive organs (like the stomach and intestines) are tube-like and contain the food as it makes its way through the body. The digestive system is essentially a long, twisting tube that runs from the mouth to the anus, plus a few other organs (like the liver and pancreas) that produce or store digestive chemicals. Without the digestive system, our bodies would not be able to get nutrients from the food we eat or get rid of the waste products that food makes and we would soon become ill!

This can be used for an ICT or it can be used in another lesson to teach children about how precise their instructions have to be in order to make a jam sandwich.

There is an updated verion of this activity here.

Jam Sandwich Algorithm

Create an algorithm (a precise set of instructions or rules to achieve an outcome or solve a problem) to instruct a pretend robot (teacher) to make a jam sandwich. One of the steps towards writing a good algorithm, that can be converted into code, is precision. Precision doesn't come naturally to most humans. Another computational thinking skill is evaluation in this case is my algorithm fit for purpose. The robot teacher interpretation of their algorithm helps pupils to evaluate its effectiveness and make changes if needed. Is it an algorithm or is it coding though, who cares its lots of fun!
