I'll help you solve this worksheet about "The Magic School Bus for Lunch" by filling in the blanks with words from the word bank.
Let me work through each question step by step:
Word Bank: digestive, teeth, gas, stomach acid, small intestine, large intestine, burp, saliva, liquid food, esophagus, fiber, chewed, nutrients, absorbed, waste
1. The first thing you have to do to digest your food is put it in your
mouth.
- This makes sense as eating starts in the mouth.
2. Then, when you start chewing, your strong white
teeth help to crush and break apart the food into smaller pieces.
- Teeth are used for chewing.

esophagus pushes it down to the stomach.

4. The liquid in your stomach is called
stomach acid.
- Stomach contains acid to break down food.

10. The leftovers move on to the
large intestine, where water is removed. That's why that much mushy inside the small intestine!
- Large intestine removes water.
11. The thick, pasty stuff that has moved around the whole way would then end up in the
waste.
- Waste is what remains after digestion.
