You eat food every day. In fact, every living organism can?t live without it. Digestion is a complex, sometimes gross, process by which our bodies turn a meal into energy.

Fifth-grade readers will learn about the digestive systems of humans and animals, photosynthesis, organ structure and function, and more through this high-interest informational text filled with vibrant photographs. Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards, a hands-on ?Think Like a Scientist? lab activity and a ?Your Turn? page at the end of the e-book support STEM Education and provide young scientists with an opportunity to apply what they?ve learned in the text.
