8 ) Communicate scientific information to explain the relationship between the structures and functions, both mechanical (e.g., chewing, churning in stomach) and chemical (e.g., enzymes, hydrochloric acid [HCl] in stomach), of the digestive system, including the accessory organs (e.g., salivary glands, pancreas).

a. Obtain and communicate information to demonstrate an understanding of the disorders of the digestive system (e.g., ulcers, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis).

Following the During Activity (Digestive Detectives: Gathering Information) student pairs will be provided with a patient data card. Using notes from their research, students will determine the patient’s diagnosis and create a mini claim-evidence-reasoning poster using an online design platform. The poster will allow students to communicate information to demonstrate an understanding of digestive diseases and disorders. This learning activity was created as a result of the ALEX - Alabama Virtual Library (AVL) Resource Development Summit.

a. Obtain and communicate information to demonstrate an understanding of the disorders of the digestive system (e.g., ulcers, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis).

Following the Before Activity (Digestive Detectives: What Do You Know?) students will work in pairs to investigate digestive diseases and disorders. Students will read provided articles to obtain information for their tables and then communicate the information within a provided data table. This learning activity was created as a result of the ALEX - Alabama Virtual Library (AVL) Resource Development Summit.

In this learning activity, students will review an image representing the structures and functions of the digestive system. After observing the image, students will be asked to state what problems could occur in the digestive process, including any diseases or disorders they may have heard of. This learning activity was created as a result of the ALEX - Alabama Virtual Library (AVL) Resource Development Summit.
