Curious Minds

"So what's the big deal about the stomach?? Why do doctors get concerned if something is wrong with it?? Well, the stomach creates powerful hydrochloric acid used to digest the food you eat. The digestive juices help break down the food for the intestine, which absorbs the nutrients and disperses them to the rest of your body. Your stomach has to store what you swallow, mix up the food, liquid and digestive acids, and empty the contents into the small intestine. In other words, it has a VERY big job to do!! And if wasn't for the stomach, the vitamins and minerals your body needs wouldn't get anywhere they need to go! Use this kit to give your child a cool visual on how the stomach works---you get to make your very own stomach and intestines to demonstrate how cool the human body really is!!
