Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What is the role of the digestive system?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. The digestive system is an example of an organ system in which several organs work together to digest and absorb food.
  2. Students should be able to relate knowledge of enzymes to Metabolism.
  3. The products of digestion are used to build new carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Some glucose is used in respiration.
  4. Bile is made in the liver and stored in the gall bladder.
  5. [Bile] is alkaline to neutralise hydrochloric acid from the stomach.
  6. [Bile] also emulsifies fat to form small droplets which increases the surface area.
  7. The alkaline conditions and large surface area increase the rate of fat breakdown by lipase.

Keywords:
  • Emulsify: to break up fat into smaller parts by allowing it mix better with water. (1)
  • Bile: Chemical made in the liver that neutralises stomach acid and emulsify fats. (1)
  • Enzyme: Proteins that act as biological catalysts, each specific for a certain metabolic reaction. (1)
  • Digestion: The process by which food is broken down and absorbed into the blood to be used by cells. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. Why is the digestive system an example of an organ system?
    The digestive system is an example of an organ system as it has several organs working together.
  2. How do enzymes relate to metabolism?
    Enzymes relate to metabolism as they help in the digestion of food.
  3. What are the products of digestion used for?
    The products of digestion are used to build new carbohydrates, lipids and proteins as well as glucose being used for respiration.
  4. Where is bile made and stored?
    Bile is made in the liver and stored in the gall bladder
  5. What does bile do with the stomach acid?
    Bile neutralises stomach acid.
  6. What does bile do with fats?
    Bile emulsifies fats to form small droplets to increase the surface area of the fats and increase the rate of digestion.
  7. What two factors increase the rate of fat breakdown by lipase?
    The alkaline conditions and large surface area increase the rate of fat breakdown by lipase.

Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
