Hi Everyone… As we work through flexible instruction days, I will continue to post assignments on this page. We are also going to use Google Classroom. Our code is: wmua6qb

I am new to Google Classroom so I need your feedback as to what works and any questions, problems or concerns you have. Pay attention to due dates on Google Classroom.

Please check this page everyday Monday through Friday.

Communication is important. Please email me as needed.

Integumentary System Disease Presentations – email the PowerPoint to me no later than 11:59 PM today

In your “book”…Use the following questions to review. Place answers in your notebook. We can discuss any concerns  you have about these questions on Google Classroom (At least I think so…Someone respond to the stream so I can see if I have it set up correctly)(Thank you!)

Case Study: Apple & Linguini – All about the digestive system

Watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efSiD49JAuE&feature=youtu.be

Answer the three questions on Google Classroom

March 31, 2020

We will continue our work on the case study: Apple and Linguini.

Select one food item that you like to eat. Examples would be a hot dog on a bun or a piece of cheese pizza.  Using your understanding of the digestive system, identify the primary nutrient types (e.g., carbohydrate, protein, etc). Also, explain what happens to your food choice as it passes through the digestive tract. To do this, make a written flow chart, showing the food’s movements through each of the parts of the tract and telling what happens to it (e.g., what parts are broken down, where the nutrients go, what enzymes are involved) in the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, etc.

Complete this assignment in your notebook.
