Model 1: On page 10, the text says, “Inside the animal’s body, the food molecules are broken down and used to build new molecules.” How can we show that in our model with the cubes?
Draw blocks on your whiteboard to show how what happens when the otter eats the fish. Take a screenshot and upload it to answer this question.

Model 2: On page 11, the text says, “Not all the matter that an animal eats gets added to the animal’s body.” How is this matter used? It can be used for energy to move. It can be leftover as waste, such as in the alligator droppings.
Draw blocks on your whiteboard to show what happens when the otter eats the fish but not all the matter is added to the otter’s body. Take a screenshot and upload it to answer this question.
