I AM SID, ROVING REPORTER WITH TODAY'’’S QUESTION.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FOOD IN YOUR STOMACH?

MAYBE YOU CAN THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FOOD IN YOUR STOMACH, TOO.

LET'’’S GO GET SOME ANSWERS.

HELLO THERE, MAY.

>> HI, SID.

>> HEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS TO THE FOOD IN YOUR STOMACH?

>> HMM.

I THINK THE PIECES OF FOOD IN MY STOMACH GET TOGETHER AND PLAY.

HEE HEE!

>> WOW.

THANKS, MAY.

>> YOU'’’RE WELCOME.

>> BYE.

HI, GABRIELA.

>> HI.

>> YIKES.

HEY, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.

WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS TO THE FOOD IN YOUR STOMACH?

>> OH.

I THINK MY STOMACH MIXES EVERYTHING AROUND AND TURNS IT ALL INTO SOUP.

>> WOW.

SOUP.

>> UH-HUH.

>> THANKS, GABRIELA.

>> SURE THING.

>> YOU'’’RE MAKING ME DIZZY.

>> [HUMMING] >> HEY THERE, GERALD.

>> HEY, SID, SURVEY GUY.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK HAPPENS TO FOOD?

>> WELL, OK, FIRST, WE EAT THE FOOD.

AND THEN, UM, YOUR STOMACH EATS IT AGAIN.

CHOMP, CHOMP, CHOMP.

>> WOW.

OK.

THANKS, GERALD.

>> BYE!

>> BYE.

AND NOW THE RESULTS OF MY SURVEY.

GABRIELA THINKS THAT THE FOOD IN YOUR STOMACH TURNS INTO SOUP.

MAY THINKS THAT PIECES OF FOOD GET TOGETHER AND PLAY.

AND GERALD THINKS THAT YOUR STOMACH EATS YOUR FOOD AGAIN.

HMM.

MAYBE YOU'’’VE THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FOOD IN YOUR STOMACH, TOO.

OH, NO!

WOW!

I DROPPED EVERYTHING.

>> [ALL LAUGHING] >> OK.

ANYONE WANT TO SHARE SOMETHING WITH THE CLASS?

>> OH.

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT OUR STOMACHS.

WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO FOOD INSIDE THEM.

>> YEAH.

MY STOMACH MADE SOME NOISE THIS MORNING, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS TALKING TO ME.

BUT NOW I'’’M NOT SO SURE.

>> WELL, YOUR STOMACHS DO MAKE NOISE.

AND TO HELP US FIND OUT WHY, I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU.

HERE IS A BIG PICTURE OF THE INSIDE OF OUR BODY.

>> EW!

>> THAT'’’S GROSS!

>> WOW.

THAT'’’S THE INSIDE OF OUR BODY?

COOL.

>> IT IS COOL, MAY.

NOW, LET'’’S ALL TRACE THE JOURNEY OUR FOOD MAKES AS IT TRAVELS THROUGH OUR BODY.

FIRST, IT GOES IN THE MOUTH.

OUR TEETH CHEW THE FOOD UP AND BREAK IT INTO SMALLER PIECES.

AND THEN THOSE PIECES TRAVEL DOWN, DOWN, DOWN YOUR THROAT.

AND THEN THEY GO DOWN ALL THE WAY INTO YOUR STOMACH.

>> WOW.

SUSIE, IS THAT WHEN OUR STOMACHS MAKE NOISE?

>> YES, IT IS.

THE NOISE WE HEAR IS THE SOUND OF OUR STOMACHS GETTING READY FOR FOOD TO ARRIVE.

OR IT'’’S THE SOUND OF OUR STOMACH MOVING FOOD AROUND WHILE REALLY STRONG JUICES BREAK IT DOWN INTO EVEN SMALLER AND SMALLER PIECES.

>> JUICES?

EW!

>> JUICES?

EW!

>> I KNOW.

IT SOUNDS A LITTLE YUCKY, BUT THAT'’’S HOW OUR BODIES BREAK DOWN FOOD.

SO WE CAN TAKE THE GOOD STUFF FROM FOOD, THE NUTRIENTS, AND USE THEM.

AND THAT'’’S CALLED DIGESTION.

>> SO, IF THERE'’’S GOOD STUFF THAT THE BODY USES, THEN WHERE DOES THE OTHER STUFF GO?

>> WELL, THAT IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION, GERALD.

THE ANSWER IS THAT WHEN YOU EAT, YOUR BODY GETS RID OF THE OTHER STUFF IT DOESN'’’T NEED.

THAT OTHER STUFF LEAVES YOUR BODY, AND THAT'’’S CALLED POOP.

>> [GASPS] YOU SAID POOP.

>> SUSIE, THAT'’’S A BATHROOM WORD.

>> I KNOW, BUT WE'’’RE TALKING ABOUT SCIENCE.

AND IT'’’S WHAT REALLY HAPPENS.

IT'’’S ALL PART OF DIGESTION.

HEY, LET'’’S GO INVESTIGATE MORE ABOUT HOW DIGESTION HAPPENS IN OUR STOMACH.

LET'’’S ALL GO TO THE... >> SUPER-FAB LAB!

>> GRAB YOUR JOURNALS.

LET'’’S GO!

>> LET'’’S GO!

>> OK. >> COME ON.

>> OK. >> SUPER-FAB LAB!

INVESTIGATE.

EXPLORE.

DISCOVER.

WOW.

>> WE'’’RE GOING TO DO A DIGESTION INVESTIGATION.

>> [ALL CHEERING] >> AND HERE'’’S THE BEST PART: WE'’’RE GOING TO MAKE A STOMACH.

>> COOL.

>> A STOMACH?

>> OH.

IT'’’S JUST A PRETEND STOMACH.

>> OH.

JUST PRETEND.

OK. WHOA.

>> FIRST, WE'’’LL TAKE A PLASTIC SANDWICH BAG THAT SEALS TIGHT.

THEN WE'’’LL TAKE OUR LEMON AND SQUEEZE SOME LEMON JUICE INTO THE BAG.

NOW WE'’’LL PRETEND THIS CRACKER WAS JUST EATEN.

SO WE'’’LL BREAK UP THE CRACKER INTO PIECES, PUT IT IN THE BAG, AND THEN GENTLY SQUEEZE THE BAG.

>> OH, BOY.

SQUEEZE, SQUEEZE.

>> HEY, YOU'’’RE A SCIENTIST.

YOU CAN TRY THIS, TOO.

>> IN OUR DIGESTION INVESTIGATION, WE'’’LL PRETEND THIS PLASTIC SANDWICH BAG IS A STOMACH.

FIRST, WE'’’LL SQUEEZE LEMONS TO MAKE LEMON JUICE.

THIS JUICE WILL BE THE STRONG LIQUID THAT HELPS BREAK DOWN FOOD IN OUR STOMACH.

OK. ADD THE JUICE TO OUR BAG.

NOW THAT OUR PRETEND STOMACH HAS PLENTY OF STRONG JUICE, IT'’’S TIME TO ADD SOME FOOD.

BREAK UP A CRACKER INTO PIECES AND ADD IT TO THE BAG.

NOW LET'’’S START DIGESTION.

GENTLY SQUEEZE THE BAG WITH YOUR HANDS.

WHEN YOU SQUEEZE THE BAG, YOUR HANDS ARE LIKE THE MUSCLES IN YOUR STOMACH HELPING TO MIX AND TURN THE FOOD.

WOW.

THE CRACKER'’’S REALLY BREAKING DOWN INTO SMALLER PIECES.

LET'’’S SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE ADD MORE FOOD TO THE PRETEND STOMACH.

PUT IN A FEW BANANA SLICES AND CLOSE THE BAG.

JUST LIKE BEFORE, GENTLY SQUEEZE THE BAG AND SHAKE IT SO ALL THE FOOD BREAKS DOWN INTO SMALLER PIECES.

OK. LET'’’S CLEAN UP AND MAKE SOME OBSERVATIONS IN YOUR JOURNALS.

YOU CAN DRAW PICTURES OF HOW WE MADE OUR PRETEND STOMACHS.

WE ADDED LEMON JUICE AND CRACKERS AND BANANAS.

THEN WE SQUEEZED AND MIXED IT ALL TOGETHER.

AND, NOW THAT WE'’’RE DONE, LET'’’S DRINK SOME JUICE AND EAT BANANAS AND CRACKERS SO OUR REAL STOMACHS CAN DIGEST FOOD, TOO.

OK.

I CAN'’’T WAIT TO SEE YOUR OBSERVATIONS OF THE DIGESTION INVESTIGATION.

>> YEAH!

>> SID, CAN WE START WITH YOU?

>> OK.

I DREW A BAG--THAT'’’S THE STOMACH--AND A CRACKER.

THAT'’’S THE FOOD.

AND THEN THE CRACKER WENT INTO THE STOMACH AND GOT BROKEN UP BY THE JUICES.

DIGESTION WORKED.

>> GOOD EXPLANATION, SID.

>> THANKS.

>> GERALD, MAY WE SEE YOUR JOURNAL?

>> OK. YEAH.

UM, WELL, OK, LOOK.

FIRST, I HAVE A PERSON'’’S BODY.

AND THEN OVER HERE, OK, THIS GUY, HE ATE A LOT OF FOOD, SO HIS STOMACH HAS A LOT OF FOOD IN IT.

>> OH, AND HE'’’S PROBABLY DIGESTING IT ALL RIGHT NOW.

GOOD JOB, GERALD.

>> THANKS.

>> WELL, AFTER THIS INVESTIGATION, YOU ALL MUST BE HUNGRY.

>> YES.

>> I AM.

>> LET'’’S HAVE LUNCH.

THEN YOU CAN GO PLAY WITH ALL YOUR NEW IDEAS.

>> [ALL CHEERING] >> OK. COME ON.

>> IT'’’S TIME FOR... >> GOOD LAUGHTERNOON!

[LAUGHING] >> GABRIELA.

>> YES?

>> WHAT DID ONE BELLY USE TO CALL ANOTHER BELLY?

>> HMM.

I DON'’’T KNOW.

WHAT?

>> A BELLY PHONE.

[ALL LAUGHING] >> HEY, SID!

>> HEY, GERALD.

>> HEY, WHAT DOES A GIANT LION EAT?

>> I DON'’’T KNOW.

WHAT DOES A GIANT LION EAT?

>> ANYTHING IT WANTS.

RUFF!

RUFF!

I MEAN, TWEET, TWEET.

>> WHAT?

>> RIBBIT, RIBBIT.

OH!

I KNOW!

RRAAR!

[ALL LAUGHING] THAT'’’S A LION.

>> KNOCK KNOCK.

>> WHO'’’S THERE?

>> GUS.

>> GUS WHO?

>> GUESS WHAT WE'’’RE HAVING FOR LUNCH?

>> I "GUS" WE'’’RE HAVING TURKEY.

>> AND I "GUS" WE'’’RE HAVING TUNA FISH AND POTATOES AND GRAVY AND CARROTS AND STRING BEANS AND BREAD.

>> AND I "GUS" IF YOU ATE ALL THAT, YOU'’’D HAVE A BELLYACHE.

[ALL LAUGHING] >> NOW, THAT'’’S FUNNY.

[LAUGHTER] >> WE JUST ATE LUNCH.

SO IT'’’S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME: I CAN HEAR WHAT YOU [ECHOING] ATE, ATE, ATE.

STARRING THE AMAZING MAY.

>> THANK YOU!

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THAT'’’S RIGHT.

I CAN LISTEN TO THE NOISES YOUR STOMACH IS MAKING AND GUESS WHAT YOU ATE.

>> ALL RIGHT.

TODAY I LEARNED THAT WHEN OUR STOMACHS MAKE NOISE, IT'’’S THE SOUND OF FOOD DIGESTING.

>> OH, YEAH.

DIGESTION IS THE BEST.

LET ME TELL YOU, SID.

MY STOMACH HAS BEEN MAKING NOISE FOR YEARS.

WHEN I WAS A YOUNG GIRL, I WENT TO A FAMILY PARTY WHERE THERE WAS A LONG TABLE WITH MORE FOOD ON IT THAN I'’’D EVER SEEN.

MY STOMACH WAS GURGLING, I WAS SO HUNGRY.

I PILED SO MUCH FOOD ON MY PLATE THAT MY MOM WALKED UP AND SAID, "YOUNG LADY, YOUR EYES ARE BIGGER THAN YOUR STOMACH."

AND I SAID, "WHAT?

NO."

SO I ATE AS MUCH AS I COULD.

AND I FELT FULL, REALLY FULL.

YOU SEE, I WANTED ALL THE FOOD I SAW, BUT I COULDN'’’T FIT IT ALL IN MY STOMACH.

SO I FINALLY GOT IT.

MY EYES WERE BIGGER THAN MY STOMACH.

HA HA!

>> HA HA!

WELL, THAT STORY MAKES ME FEEL HUNGRY AND FULL, GRANDMA.

>> OH, I KNOW THAT FEELING, ALL RIGHT.

HA HA.

>> MY GRANDMA TELLS THE BEST STORIES.

>> MM.

>> ♪ I LEARNED SOMETHING COOL SOMETHING COOL TODAY I KNOW IT UPSIDE DOWN AND INSIDE OUT I LEARNED ALL ABOUT... DIGESTION!

>> HA HA!

YEAH.

[APPLAUSE] OOH.

THEY'’’RE HERE.

OK. HEY, DAD, MOM AND GRANDMA ARE COMING.

HOW'’’S IT GOING?

>> HUH?

UH, EVERYTHING'’’S GOOD.

ZEKIE'’’S TUCKED INTO BED.

I'’’M HUNGRY.

>> WELL, TODAY I LEARNED THAT YOUR BELLY ISN'’’T REALLY TALKING.

IT'’’S JUST GETTING READY FOR THE FOOD TO ARRIVE, SO IT CAN START DIGESTION.

>> VERY GOOD, SID.

>> OH, WELL, I SAY LET THE DIGESTION BEGIN.

YAY!

>> HA HA!

WHAT A GREAT DAY!

WE LEARNED ALL ABOUT WHY STOMACHS MAKE NOISES.

IT'’’S BECAUSE THE STOMACH IS WORKING TO BREAK DOWN FOOD.

THAT'’’S CALLED DIGESTION.

HMM.

THAT MAKES ME THINK ABOUT ALL THE NOISES EVERYONE'’’S STOMACHS MAKE.

HMM.

OK.

I'’’VE GOT IT!

HERE'’’S MY SUPER-DUPER- OOPER-SCHMOOPER BIG IDEA!

I WANT TO GET ALL MY FRIENDS TOGETHER AND HAVE A SUPER STOMACH SYMPHONY.

SINCE EVERYONE'’’S STOMACH MAKES NOISE, WE CAN PLAY DIFFERENT SOUNDS ALL WITH THE NOISES OUR BELLIES MAKE.

AND I CAN BE ONE OF THE CONDUCTORS, LIKE IT'’’S A BIG STOMACH ORCHESTRA.

AND THE BEST PART OF ALL: WE'’’LL RECORD ALL THE SONGS, AND I CAN GIVE IT TO ALL MY FRIENDS.

WE'’’LL MAKE STOMACH MUSIC LIKE: [RUMBLING TO THE TUNE OF "TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR"] AND...["ROW, ROW, ROW YOUR BOAT"] BUT WAIT, THERE'’’S MORE!

[OPENING TO BEETHOVEN'’’S FIFTH SYMPHONY] YES, THE SUPER STOMACH SYMPHONY WILL BE AWESOME.

AND THAT'’’S MY SUPER-DUPER-OOPER- SCHMOOPER BIG IDEA!

[APPLAUSE] WELL, I KNOW MY STOMACH CAN'’’T REALLY TALK, BUT IF IT COULD, I BET IT WOULD SAY, "I AM SID THE SCIENCE KID!"

[ECHOING] AND REMEMBER, KEEP ASKING LOTS AND LOTS OF QUESTIONS.

SEE YOU LATER, SCIENTISTS.

>> WOW.

>> THAT'’’S US!
