Digestive System 3-D Model Making Kit

Make an amazing model of the digestive system!

Models are powerful tools for teaching science because they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple.

Enjoy learning about the digestive system with our colouful and interactive model. It includes an open channel so you can see clearly how food moves through the digestive system.

First you assemble your digestive system model. Then use your model to identify the parts of the digestive system including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, gallbladder and pancreas.

You can then look at how food passes through the digestive system.

The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide included provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.

Models are powerful tools for teaching science because they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple.

Based upon the NGSS Standards, students are expected to develop and use models to represent structures, systems and processes, and then provide explanations, make predictions, or investigate possible solutions.

Using the ready-to-use materials provided with each 3-D model set, students first assemble a model to represent a structure or an entire system as an aid to develop questions and explanations. They will then generate data and observations that can be used to make predictions and communicate ideas to others.
