Knowledge Organiser
In this topic, you are going to look at
how humans get nutrients from the
food we eat.

All the key knowledge you will need is


summarised on a Knowledge
Organiser for you. It contains all the
key vocabulary you will need to know
and helpful diagrams.

Using two colours:

1. Highlight any words you already


know
in one colour.
2. Use the second colour for any words
you don’t know yet.
3. Then, make a key to show what your
colours mean.
Teeth
We will be learning about digestion in the Chewing, Churning and Chains
eBook. Let's read the first few pages together.
Teeth

?
What do we call the process of breaking down food so the nutrients in it
digestion
can be used by the body?

? What is the first step of breaking down the food you eat?

Digestion starts in your mouth. Your teeth, along with


your tongue and saliva, work together to start breaking
down the food. The teeth cut and crush the food.

Think about eating an apple. How


do you start to break it up in
your mouth?
Teeth

? Why is it important to look after our teeth?

? What can damage our teeth?

? How can we look after our teeth?
