Origami Organelles™ 3-D Paper Model Kit: Digestive System

Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. Using this colorful interactive model, students gain an understanding of the digestive system and its processes. First, they'll assemble the model. Next, they'll use it to identify the parts of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, gallbladder, and pancreas. This innovative model even includes an open channel so students can see clearly how food moves through the digestive tract.

This model-making kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The included comprehensive teacher resource guide 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.
