I don't think beef jerky is entirely devoid of water, either, though it's probably as close as you can get without combusting the beef. But as a general lesson about 'a lot of water in the body', without worrying about the specific proportion, I think it's good. | |

My son is gifted in math (tested, not bragging parent speaking) and would have had difficulties with this at that age. If the 2/3 water aspect can be neglected and translated to "contains a lot of water" it works at that age, but OP needs to decide what precisely the goal is. Upvoted anyway, also for the excellent description of the process. | |
