Destination Digestion Instructions

The creators of a new amusement park Destination Digestion located in

Nashville, Tennessee has come to you to create their new amusement park.
This is going to be a water park and a regular amusement park combined. To
go with their digestion themed amusement park, you need to create rides
and restaurants that represent the 11 organs that consist of the digestive
tract.
The creators need;
A map of the created theme park labeling where each ride or
restaurant is (can look like a human body or you can create your
own landscape)
o This can be on a poster board or virtual map
A description of each ride or restaurant explaining in one
paragraph for each ride or restaurant, including but not limited
too;
o The ride/restaurant name
o What the ride/restaurant does or cooks and how long it
lasts
o Which part/s of the digestive tract the restaurant/ride
reflects
o The age and height requirements
How much the amusement park will cost to build
How much tickets will cost for children, adults and seniors
The creators are looking for creativeness and correct
information relating to the digestive tract.
Remember: All parts of the Digestive Tract must be used!
Once finished you will present your amusement park to the board of
Destination Digestion at State College High School, South Building, Room
104 during a round-a-bout show. Each group of partners will create a station
representing and presenting their amusement park.
