Digestion and Heat Energy - September 17, 2009
FROM THE PLATE TO THE TUMMY (Creative Writing - Personification)
Hello. I am a pickle. I was once in a bowl. I saw a big hand pick me up. Then I saw I was in a dark, scary place. I was so big. I did get chewed. I saw a big gate open. The next things I knew I was on a very dark slide. I went past a lot of small bumps. Then I saw that I was dissolving in a pool of orange stuff. Britta
I was a piece of a hot dog when something picked me up. It looked like a tractor but taller. It put me in something like a cave. It had lots of pink bumps. I guess those were rocks but pin. Something started to squeeze me. It kind of hurt. Then I went down a slide. It was fun. Things were pushing me so hard like the thing that squeezed me. Then I went in a lake with brown water. It was big. Then, I went through a tube. First, a small tube then a big tube. It was a fun journey. Christian
I'm a hot dog. I see a big giant door, and something that was forcing me down. When I first got in, I saw a a thing that was shaped and had little, little dots and little hairs. Then I went through a slide thing that was very, very slippery. Then suddenly, I got sucked into a big thing that was called the Hole of Doom. The End. Hunter
I am a pickle. Oh no, a giant hand came and picked me up and chewed me. Then I saw these red bumpy, hairy things on a giant red slimy thick thing. Then I went down a slimy tube with a gate that keeps on opening and closing. Something kept punching me down the tube and a big and round thing showed up. When I got into the big, round thing, I died because of this stingy stuff. Bailey
Today my bacon family and me were eaten. We got chewed and pushed and moved and when we got to the epiglottis a popcorn ball was right behind us. We all screamed and ran right through the epiglottis door. Then two seconds later, we were at the stomach. Then we looked down and we noticed that we were getting sucked up by green goo. Then we all died. Andrew
Hi. I am a blue M&M. I love to sit in big plates to relax. Well, right now, I am! By the way, my name is Ahhhhhhhh......! What is that thing!! That was a mouth. It was chewing me so hard. That hurts! It swallowed me. I saw some weird thing but what were those things. I saw red squishy stuff. All of a sudden something pushed me down, down . . . . . I fell into something really squishy, even squishier than the other. It was the stomach! Now that was scary! The stomach squished me up. That was the end of me. Kelly
I am a cupcake. Ahh. Somebody is eating me. Teeth - ahhh ahhh ! Where am I? I am in a piece of paper. I'm floating. Slimy walls, so it definitely is not in paper. I'm floating away from he teeth. Teeth!!!! I must be in someones body. Well what part of the body am I in? I wonder. Ahh. A gate. It looks like the teeth. It is sucking me in. I tried swimming. Struggling was no use. It pulled me down in two seconds. I was shoved and pushed down it and fell in a pit. There was acid. i melted. The end. Emma
I was just a little crumb on the floor when a huge dog came and gobbled me up. First, I went on a gross, stinky thing. Then I went down a very sticky pipe. Then there was a gate that let me through. It was opening and closing. Then I went inside a weird thing. It was round, a little bit. All of a sudden this kind of acid came and burned my skin. I'm dead. The dog swallowed me. The End. Josh
Once I saw a hand. Aha. Wow. Now I'm playing step, dance, step. Now I'm sliding down a yucky tube. Oh, a door - it opened! Cool germs, let's boogie in that liquid. Ahh! I'm burning. I will just head down that hole. Charlie
Hi. I am a pickle named Pickey. I was named after my grandfather. One day I was lying in my jar. All of a sudden, I was taken and a big thing picked me up. Then I was eaten, I believe. on the way, I saw big white things, and you know what they did? They comped me into twenty pieces. Then I went down a big tube and there was a big thing that opened and then closed. Now, I'm lying around all alone. That was a very scary journey. The End. Erin
Hello. I'm Macy. My name is Macy because I am Macaroni. Oh No! A big giant metal scooper! What i s happening? I am landing on this big bumpy thing! I can't see! Now, I am crunched up to little bis. Some force is bringing me down a tube thing. I am going through some door. Sooommmeethiinnng iisss mooovvvinng meeeeee. Now I am in this very squishy thing. I am becoming liquid!!!!! To Be Continued Natania
I am a piece of okra. Once I was on a plate and a hand picked me up. It put me in this dark thing. I was scared. And then this big door opened and then clear bubbly stuff shot me down somewhere. I didn't know where I was going. Then I landed on something and it hurt me. I saw a bunch of big weird things, too. I think I will be living here for a long time. Ford
I am a marshmallow. Someone picked me up and sucked on me. Then they took a big bite. Chomp! I slid down a slimy pink thing. It was fun. i sat at the bottom for a little while. It felt kinda weird to sit in a slimy pink thing. I got pretty warm. So I cuddled up and went to sleep. The End. Leann
Hi. I'm ham. Help me - a hand grabbed me! Now what? I know I'm in the mouth. What are those bumpy things? Aaahhhh sharp things. I just got crushed. Now I'm going down. Is that a gate? I'm going to hit it. Yea, I got through. What is that push? Something is pushing me. Help me. I'm going to get digested. NO !!! Noah
Facts about digestion:
You can feel your trachea moving when you swallow by putting your hand on your Adam’s apple. You can’t swallow and breathe at the same time.
¬
Even if you’re upside down, your food will still go down your esophagus because of peristalsis. Muscles close down on the food and push it down. Astronauts can swallow and food goes down the esophagus even though they are upside down. The lining of the esophagus is covered with slippery mucus.
How long does it take the food to travel from the mouth to the stomach? Seven seconds.
In the stomach, there are two types of digestion. Chemical digestion uses enzymes. Enzymes can turn bread into sugar. Sugar is easy to digest. There is a layer made of mucus that protects your stomach from the enzyme chemicals. Physical digestion happens when the stomach is churning. The muscles of the stomach are massaging your food.

Today was our first day in 2nd grade TAG.
Here are some things we learned today.
There are four types of taste buds. - Josh
There are little hairs under your taste buds that go to your brain to tell it what the taste is. - Ford
The hairs are called microvilli. - Britta
There are olfactory glands in your nose. - Erin
The taste buds are not the bumps on your tongue. Those bumps are called papillae. Underneath those bumps are taste buds. - Hunter
Taste buds taste bitter, sour, sweet and salty. - Noah
If you close your nose, the olfactory glands aren't strong enough to smell. - Emma
If you close your nose, you can't taste anything. - Bailey
Your tongue helps you talk. - Charlie
