About this worksheet

This 3-page 5th grade science sheet puts nine numbered pointer lines on a body outline of the digestive system. Students write the organ for each number from a word bank: mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. Page 2 adds three short questions about the largest organ, the tube that joins the mouth to the stomach and which intestine is longer. Page 3 is the answer key, with a note that the small intestine is longer but narrower.

Curriculum objectives covered

“Name the main organs of the digestive system and find each one on a diagram.”

Page 1 asks students to match nine numbered pointers to the organs in the word bank.

“Describe where an organ sits and how it compares with another, such as the length of the small and large intestines.”

Page 2, question 3 compares the two intestines, and question 1 asks for the largest organ inside the body.

What's inside this worksheet

Label the Digestive System

A body outline with nine numbered pointer lines, a word bank of nine organs and nine numbered answer lines. Students match each number to its organ.

Digestive System Questions

Three questions with writing lines. Students name the largest organ inside the body, the tube from the mouth to the stomach and the longer of the two intestines.

Answers

All nine labels in number order, plus the three written answers (liver, esophagus, small intestine).

How teachers use it

Cover the word bank

Let early finishers fold the word bank away once they have labeled the diagram, then see how many of the nine they can write from memory.

Two colors

Have students color numbers 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 and 9 in one color, since food passes through them. The liver, gallbladder and pancreas (3, 5 and 6) get a second color because food never enters them.

Talk about question 3

The small intestine is longer but narrower than the large intestine. Ask students why they think it carries the word small before you reveal the answer.
