Description

Learn it. Apply it. Explore it. Understand it.

A complete, learner-friendly digital workbook for studying the animal digestive system – combining teaching content, practical activities, knowledge checks, research tasks and opportunities for independent learning.

The Student Workbook for Chapter 1: Digestion is the first chapter in the Accessible Animal Anatomy & Physiology series from Hart-Kent Publications.

Designed with neurodivergent and non-mainstream learners in mind, this resource breaks down a complex area of animal science into clear, structured sections before giving learners the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice.

This isn’t simply a collection of worksheets. The teaching content is built into the workbook, meaning learners can work through the material, make notes, complete activities and revisit key concepts as they progress.
