CBSE Class 5 EVS Tasting To Digestion Worksheet

WORKSHEET - 3 (FROM TASTING TO DIGESTING)

Question 1. Label the diagram of digestive system and use the flow chart to write the process of digestion.
Answer:
Digestive System Labelling (Top to Bottom):
1. Mouth / Oral Cavity
2. Food Pipe / Oesophagus
3. Liver
4. Stomach
5. Gall Bladder
6. Pancreas
7. Small Intestine
8. Large Intestine
9. Rectum
10. Anus

Flow Chart of the Process of Digestion:
Mouth (Chewing and mixing with saliva) → Food Pipe (Oesophagus - transport) → Stomach (Mixing with digestive juices) → Small Intestine (Complete digestion and absorption of nutrients) → Large Intestine (Absorption of water) → Rectum (Storage of waste) → Anus (Removal of waste)
In simple words: Food enters the body through the mouth, travels down the food pipe, gets broken down in the stomach and small intestine to give us energy, and waste is removed through the anus.

Exam Tip: Always draw arrows correctly in flow charts and remember the exact sequence of digestive organs starting from the mouth to the anus.

Question 2. List the names of things which are used to make 'ORS' at your home. List other items which can be given in addition to 'ORS'.
Answer:
Ingredients to make ORS at home:
1. Water (1 litre)
2. Sugar (6 teaspoons)
3. Salt (1 pinch)

Other items that can be given in addition to ORS:
1) Coconut water
2) Fresh fruit juices (like lemon water or mosambi juice)
3) Thin buttermilk (chaas) or rice kanji (soup)
In simple words: ORS is made by mixing clean water, sugar, and salt. Other liquids like coconut water and buttermilk also help prevent dehydration during illness.

Exam Tip: Remember the standard ratio for homemade ORS: 1 litre of boiled and cooled water, 6 teaspoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Question 3. Write five lines on healthy food habits using the clues provided (Stomach, ORS, Pizza, Glucose, Soup, Teeth, Green leafy vegetables, Water).
Answer:
1) We must chew our food properly using our teeth so that it is easy for our stomach to digest it.
2) Drinking plenty of water daily keeps our body hydrated and helps in proper digestion.
3) Including green leafy vegetables and fresh soup in our daily diet provides essential vitamins and minerals.
4) We should avoid eating junk food like pizza too often and instead choose healthy home-cooked meals.
5) In case of loose motions or weakness, drinking ORS or glucose water instantly restores energy and prevents dehydration.
In simple words: Eating healthy food, chewing well, drinking water, and taking ORS when sick keeps our digestive system strong and our body fit.

Exam Tip: When using clues in a descriptive question, make sure every provided keyword is used meaningfully and underlined or highlighted in your answer.
