Directions 

    1. This activity will be completed individually. Select a question from the hat.  You must answer the question in written form. Then, using pictures from magazines, depict the anatomical structure and function in pictorial form. Glue the pictures and your answer to the poster board provided. 

    2. Once all of the groups have completed the activity, post the poster in the hallway. Place your poster in the anatomically correct position with regard to all of the other works. Dr. Henry will depict either end of the digestive tract so that you know where to begin and end. 

    3. Follow the path of food from the mouth to the anus. Use the pictorial analysis to learn the anatomical structure of the digestive system.  If you do not understand the relationship of the picture to the function, ask the person to explain it to you.
