Stomachs





Clayton was interested in the digestive tract - specifically, what happens when food goes into our stomachs. So we made some stomachs. We got a ziptop bag to be the stomach itself. We added a bit of lemon juice to be the acid. And, of course, some food. Then we scrunched and smooshed it all up. Then we had to set it on the counter for a few days to see what happened to it. Meanwhile, we read about what happens to food after we eat it. Clayton was a bit disappointed the food in the stomachs we made didn't turn into poop. But then, he decided, it couldn't have because we just made stomachs, not intestines.
