Conclusion (10 minutes): 1. Recap the main points of the lesson. 2. Ask students to share one thing they learned about the digestive system. 3. Provide students with a worksheet or quiz to assess their understanding of the topic.
Extension Activity: 1. Have students research and create a poster or presentation on a specific organ of the digestive system. 2.
