Science
Today we looked at the first step in digestion that happens in the MOUTH. What are the parts of the mouth that help break down the food we eat? What happened to the cracker after sitting in your mouth for three minutes? Tomorrow we will discuss our observations.

The digestive system can break down food MECHANICALLY such as chewing or CHEMICALLY such as the enzymes in saliva breaking down starch.
