Chapter 2
It Takes Guts!
The Digestive System
And Nutrition
It Takes Guts!
The Digestive System
Learning Goals:
1. Students will listen to It Takes Guts! and complete a lyric note-sheet.
2. Students will label the main digestive system organs on a diagram.
3. Students will use lyrical clues from It Takes Guts! to identify the functions of the main
organs of the digestive system.
4. Students will visit www.sciTunes.com and play It Takes Guts! – The Video Game and
complete a reflection sheet and an illustrated story about a trip through the digestive
system.
5. Students will listen to Know the Food Pyramid
6. Students will label the food pyramid
7. Students will identify how each food group is part of a healthy diet and will give
examples from each food group.
8. Students will use the Know the Food Pyramid lyrics to determine which food groups
contain which essential nutrients.
9. Students will complete vocabulary brain squares for four food groups, four essential
nutrients, “digestion”, “absorption”, and “waste removal”.
10. Students will complete a digestive system summary.
11. STUDENTS WILL HAVE FUN LEARNING SCIENCE!
LESSONS:
1. Students will listen to “It Takes Guts” and complete a lyric note-sheet.
Play It takes Guts! and instruct students to listen carefully to the lyrics and use the word
bank to fill in the missing digestive system terms as they listen.
Play It takes Guts! a second time and instruct students to fill in any terms that they were
unable to get the first time through. On the second time through, instruct students to sing
along as best as they are able – they should be able to sing the chorus without too much
trouble. Participation is extremely important for increasing the retention rate of the
information in the song.
Go over the lyric sheet with the class to make sure they have the correct answers. The
PDF file can be used on a large screen computer monitor to guide the class.
2. Students will label the main digestive system organs on a diagram.
Tell students that the song lyrics will help them identify the organs because the lyrics are in
the order that food goes through them. You will want to point out that the song only
includes the organs that the food actually passes through when you come to the liver,
gallbladder, and pancreas.

3. Students will use lyrical clues from It Takes Guts! to identify the functions of the
main organs of the digestive system.
Students should be able to use the clues from the song lyrics to accurately identify the
function of the organs listed on student page 10.
4. Students will visit www.sciTunes.com and play Guts Arcade! – The Video Game and
complete a reflection sheet and an illustrated story about a trip through the
digestive system.
Go to www.sciTunes.com and click on the games link. You will find a number of sciTunes
games that are based on the songs from the Human Body album including Guts Arcade!
– The Video Game.
Bring your students to your school’s computer lab and direct them to the games section of
the sciTunes website. Allow them to play the game for 20 minutes or so (headphones are
recommended as It Takes Guts! And Know The Food Pyramid will be playing throughout
the game).
After playing the game, have students complete the video game reflection sheet on page
11 and 12. Allow them to play the game one more time in order to make sure that they
identified all of the digestive system components in the game correctly.
Playing the video game should give students a good mental picture of what it would be like
to travel through the small intestines and stomach. Now ask students to turn to the A
Journey Through the Digestive System (pages 13 and 14) creative writing activity and
explain the activity as follows:
1. Read the directions on the top of the sheet
2. Explain the grading rubric (you will need to assign point values to each part of the
rubric. This was left to you so you can make it work with your grading system)
i. Include each organ – remind students to use their diagram and the organ
functions sheet from earlier in the unit as guides.
ii. Mechanical and Chemical digestion – remind students about the difference
and ask for volunteers to give examples of each. Students should describe
both types of digestion as the main character of their story (their piece of
food) is experiencing it.
iii. Describe Absorption – remind students that the whole point of the digestive
system is to absorb nutrients from the food so our bodies can use them.
iv. Pictures – pictures should show effort and creativity. I would advise cautioning
the students to make sure that all pictures be tasteful.

5. Students will listen to Know the Food Pyramid and complete a lyric note-sheet.
Play Know the Food Pyramid and instruct students to listen carefully to the lyrics and use
the word bank to fill in the missing nutrition terms as they listen.
Play Know the Food Pyramid a second time and instruct students to fill in any terms that
they were unable to get the first time through. On the second time through instruct students
to sing along as best as they are able – they should be able to sing the chorus without too
much trouble. Participation is extremely important for increasing the retention rate of the
information in the song.
6. Students will label the food pyramid.
Tell students that the song lyrics will help them identify the triangles because the lyrics are
in the same order as the food pyramid (from left to right). Have the students write the name
of each food group (i.e. grains, vegetables, etc.) in the boxes and color in the triangles with
colored pencils (or write the word for each color if colored pencils are unavailable).
7. Students will identify how each food group is part of a healthy diet and will give
examples from each food group.
Tell students to use the clues from the song to figure out how each food group is part of a
healthy diet. The song lyrics also contain examples from each food group.
8. Students will use the Know the Food Pyramid lyrics to determine which food groups
contain which essential nutrients.
Students should look closely at the lyrics as well as the second column in this activity to be
able to accurately complete the chart.

9. Students will complete vocabulary brain boxes for four food groups, four essential
nutrients, “digestion”, “absorption”, and “waste removal”.
Example:
“Official” Function (job)
Used for tissue
growth and repair
and in chemical
reactions in your
cells.

10. Students will complete a digestive system summary.
The last activity in this unit is a simple summary activity (student page 22) in which
students take a moment to focus on the key ideas in this unit. The first activity on page 22
asks the students to identify the three main functions and gives them organs as clues (1.
Break down food 2. Absorb nutrients 3. Remove waste). The questions on page 23 ask
students to identify the functions of each organ. The final question asks students to quiz
themselves on the anatomy of the digestive system.
Answer keys and guitar chords are found at the end of this chapter.

Answers to Page 9:
1) Mouth
2) Epiglottis
3) Esophagus
4) Stomach
5) Small Intestine
6) Liver
7) Gallbladder
8) Pancreas
9) Large Intestine (colon)
10) Rectum
11) Anus
Answers to Page 10:
Mouth – Mechanical Digestion (chewing food) and Chemical Digestion (breaking down food
with saliva)
Epiglottis – Tissue flap that covers trachea (windpipe) while swallowing to prevent choking
Esophagus – Pushes food to the stomach
Stomach – Chemical digestion (stomach acid, strong digestive enzymes) and mechanical
digestion (stomach muscles churn food)
Small Intestine – Chemical digestion (enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver and
gallbladder are squirted on the food in the beginning of the small intestine) and nutrient
absorption (by the villi)
Villi – microscopic protrusions (finger-like structures) that give the small intestine much greater
surface area allowing it to absorb more nutrients
Large intestine – absorbs water from the feces
Rectum – stores feces
Anus – muscular opening that keeps feces in rectum until time for removal
Answers to Page 11-12:
1) B, E, A, C, D
2) Stomach Acid (and other digestive enzymes) act like “ninjas” because they “slice”
through the chemical bonds in the food being digested.
3) Robots are mechanical devices that have the ability to move around. Mechanical
digestion is when the body uses physical movement to break down food (similar to the
“RoboChomp’s Jaws in the game).
4) Teeth, chewing, stomach muscles, tongue, etc.
5) Chemical Digestion
6) Chemical bonds in food.
7) Small Intestines absorb nutrients into the bloodstream where they can be taken to all
the cells in the body.
