Where Does Your Food Go? 🍎 How Long Does It Take? Full Science Lesson for Kids

Where does your food go after you swallow it? 🍎 Lots of people think it drops into a tummy behind the belly button, and goes from there to the legs. In this longer lesson for kids aged 8 to 11, we follow a bite of apple through a see-through body: chew it, swallow it, watch the stomach squeeze it into soup, push it along the small intestine to see where the goodness goes, stretch the small intestine out beside a car, zoom in on the villi, and time the whole trip. Pause and guess at each question, then try the quiz at the end! ▶ Try it yourself, free: https://nowiseewhy.com/digestion?from... An interactive 3D lesson for ages 5–11, with a Grown-ups level too.

The small intestine passes the goodness from food into your blood, which carries it all round your body. Laid out straight, a grown-up’s small intestine is about 6 metres long, and the whole trip usually takes one to three days. Got a "why" question?
