Science - Can I communicate scientifically?

 This week we completed our models of the digestive system and presented them and our knowledge about each part, back to the class. 

We demonstrated excellent scientific vocabulary and were able to explain organs names, structure and function, as well as how each part differed and what its role was within the digestive system.

Furthermore, they have spikes on them instead of leaves to protect them from being eaten and animals sucking out its water.  Following on, the children looked at how a camel is able to live in the harsh conditions of a desert.
