Suggestions for use: Teacher can watch the video/ give the link to students to watch for homework. In class, set class into groups. In groups students need to negotiate and research how they will demonstrate the model of the digestive system to the class. Allow time in class for students to organize their group presentation. In the next lesson, groups must be given individual time to present the model to the class. (Video can be used so groups can reflect on presentation skills). Ensure the class come up to the front and gather around the demonstration area while the group present their model to the class and explain the analogies to the class.
