My Food Factory
For Grades 5 & Up
Did you know that more than 100 trillion bacteria live and work in the large intestines, or that the stomach makes a new lining every three days so its walls don’t digest themselves? These facts only hint at what players will learn about the parts and functions of the human digestive system. Players become aware of how food is treated at each stage as it travels through this system. Good nutrition and health habits receive appropriate attention. Players progress from status as medical students to physicians as they internalize information. The content of the Fact Cards makes excellent lesson material for study apart from the game. State and national standards emphasize the study of systems. Includes 56 Fact Cards and 14 ID Cards. For 2 players or teams. |
