About this booklet
This booklet contains information that you would be learning if school was open. It’s a mix
of old and new knowledge to support your learning of Science as a whole.
Over the term there will be three mini assessments that must be sent to the Science Team
for marking at [email protected]. You will receive feedback on how to improve
your answers and understanding. The date for submission is listed next to the
assessment.
Work can be submitted either as a Word document or a photo of written work.
You will complete 3 weeks of new learning and two weeks consolidating old learning. The
learning will alternate between new and old each week.

The Vocab
Carbohydrate A molecule in food used as fuel for energy, e.g. sugars and starches. Broken down in digestion by carbohydrase enzymes such as amylase.
Protein A biological molecule used for growth and repair. Broken down by proteases in digestion.
Lipid A biological molecule found in fats and oils, used for energy and making cell membranes. Broken down by lipases in digestion.
Digestion The breakdown of large molecules from food into smaller ones for absorption and use in the body.
Egestion The process of getting rid of undigested or waste material from an organism.
Oesophagus The part of the digestive system connecting the throat and the stomach. Muscular tube.
Pancreas A large organ behind stomach that secretes digestive enzymes to help digestion.
Enzyme A biological catalyst which speeds up chemical reactions in the body. Digestive enzymes break down large molecules into smaller ones in digestion.
Catalyst A substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being used up or changed.
Starch A carbohydrate that function as a storage molecule in plants; found in cereals and potatoes.
Glucose A simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms; made in photosynthesis and used in respiration.
Photosynthesis The process by which green plants use sunlight to make glucose (food) from carbon dioxide and water.
Transpiration The process of water movement through plants – absorbing water from the roots and evaporating from the leaves.
Translocation The movement of materials such as carbohydrates from leaves to other tissues throughout the plant.
Stomata Tiny openings in leaves that can open and close, used in gas exchange (carbon dioxide diffuses in, oxygen diffuses out).
Palisade cell Plant cells located in the upper part of leaves that contain lots of chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
Xylem A tissue in plants that carries water and dissolved minerals from roots up to the rest of the plant.
Phloem A tissue in plants that carries sugars made in photosynthesis and other molecules downwards from the leaves.

The Learning
1. What parts of the body does food pass through?
2. What other organs are important in digestion?
3. What is the name of this organ system?
Watch the demonstration of a model digestive system, then answer the questions. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zf339j6/articles/zrm48mn
1. Which part of the model represents the stomach? ___________________________________
2. Where in the digestive system is most water absorbed? ______________________________
3. What is the difference between chemical and mechanical digestion?

4. What is egestion? (Hint: see stage 4 below)
________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
Read the following information and make flashcards of the most important facts:
Stage 1 – The mouth Digestion starts in the mouth where the food is broken down mechanically by the teeth and chemically by the enzyme amylase (contained in saliva). Amylase breaks down carbohydrates into sugars. An enzyme is a biological catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions. Stage 2 – The stomach The food then passes down the oesophagus and into the stomach. When it reaches the stomach, the food mixes with the stomach acid and enzymes. The stomach is a muscular bag which churns the food, breaking it down into small pieces. Stage 3 – The intestines The food passes through into the small intestine. Here more enzymes are released, breaking down carbohydrates, proteins and fats into smaller molecules. The smaller molecules are then absorbed in the small intestine by the finger-like structures called villi. Villi are very good at absorption because they have very thin walls, a large surface area and a strong network of capillaries surrounding them. Stage 4 - The rectum The remaining nutrients move through into the large intestine, where the water is absorbed back into the body. The undigested food molecules that remain form our faeces. The faeces is passed into the rectum and is removed (excreted) from the body through the anus. This is called egestion.

The Application
1. Label the diagram with the correct organs, then do look/cover/write/check on the second one.
2. Complete the gaps below using these words:
The salivary glands release ……………………….……. to moisten the food before it goes down the
…………………….. where the ………………………… contract to push the food down towards the
stomach. In the stomach there is hydrochloric …………………….. to break down the food further.
The ………….. intestine absorbs the food into the blood. The large intestine removes ...…..……….
Faeces are then stored in the …………………… and are released through the ………………….....
3. Fill in the gaps: ingestion (eating) → ___________ (breaking down) →
absorption (taking into bloodstream) → __________ (removal from the body)
Anus Saliva Acid Rectum Oesophagus Muscles Water Small
