DIGITAL DOWNLOAD: you receive a printable US Letter PDF to print at home or school. No physical book is shipped.

This booklet traces a meal from the mouth to the gut, and a Grade 4 teacher gets the whole digestion unit finished and ready to assign. The text groups animals by what they actually eat, then tackles two body puzzles head on: why a baby arrives with no teeth, and why the stomach lining survives its own acid instead of digesting itself. A closing section measures the small intestine against the body's own height and asks whether every bacterium inside us is really something to fear. Every section links to a free video lesson from Brenda Hayles on YouTube. Color photos of animal teeth run beside a labeled gut diagram throughout, and new terms get their own glossary page at the back. NGSS codes 4-LS1-1, 5-LS2-1 and 5-PS3-1 are covered.

Inside:

• Six sections, from animal diets to gut bacteria
• A linked video lesson for every section
• Color teeth photos beside a labeled gut diagram
• A glossary covering digestion and dentition
