About this reader

This Grade 4 science reading passage explains how animals digest food and aligns with NGSS standard 4-LS1-1. Students discover how the digestive system breaks down food into tiny pieces called nutrients that the body uses for energy and growth. The passage describes the journey of food through the mouth, stomach, and intestines, explaining how acids break food apart and how nutrients are absorbed into the blood. Students also learn that different animals have different digestive structures depending on what they eat—cows have four stomach chambers for digesting grass, while birds have a gizzard to grind food. This audio-integrated resource includes a simplified differentiated version, Spanish translations, interactive multiple-choice questions, writing activities, and graphic organizers. The materials help students build foundational understanding of animal structures and functions through accessible, grade-appropriate language and real-world examples that connect to the NGSS Disciplinary Core Idea LS1.A: Structure and Function.
