Lesson 4

Digestive System

March 8, 2021

I was away for this lesson, so here are the instructions for this lesson, which was completed with a reliever.

1. Get your notebook and write today's Whāinga/LI: "Explore the components of the digestive system and how it can vary based on the type of eater."

2. Take out your device and complete The Living World Pre-Test if you forgot to do it during last week's lockdown. I have provided the link to the Google Form Quiz.

3. Complete the Education Perfect task titled "Monday's Lesson (Digestive System)." While you are working through the EP task, make sure you are taking notes in your book as I will not be providing any.

4. If you finish early, you can get a head start on the homework, which is also on Education Perfect, titled "Term 1 Week 6 Homework," or you can use this time to study for your IV formative, which will take place on Thursday.

Today, you will ticking off the following from The Human Body Checklist.
