Little Dragon's Digestive System

Let Sam, a dragon with really bad eating habits, and our science educators lead you on a journey through the digestive system. A few lucky volunteers will get a chance to climb into a giant mouth, slide down an esophagus, and end up in a churning stomach before squeezing through the small and large intestines. In this obstacle course, students will be introduced to the names and functions of the basic parts of the digestive system. Your students will never forget this tour through the digestive system!
