We use our mouth to eat.  We chew with our teeth, and taste with our tastebuds!

We use our mouth to taste and chew food.  We use our mouth to eat.  Our mouth has lips, a tongue and teeth!

Food goes through our mouth and into our stomach.  Our stomach has special liquids that break down the food.  This is called to digest the food.

Nutrients are the parts of food that our body can use for energy.  When we eat food the food goes into our stomach.  Our stomach breaks down the food.  It moves into our intestines.  Our intestines take out the parts of the food we can use.  These are called nutrients.  

Some parts of food we cannot use.  This is called waste.  Waste goes though our body and comes out when we go to the bathroom.

Our bodies take in food and bring in the parts we can use that give us energy.  Our bodies get rid of the part we do not need by going to the bathroom.  This is called digestion.  Digestion is how our bodies bring in energy we can use!
