Teeth

This week we have been looking at teeth.  We have found out what the three different types of teeth are called and what jobs they do.


Can you match the tooth to the job it does?

Canine                                                        chewing and grinding

Molar                                                         biting and cutting

Incisor                                                        tearing and ripping

Here are some games to play to learn more about teeth:

We worked together to make sets of teeth.  One group made a very large set of teeth using paper.  The other groups made smaller sets of teeth out of play-doh.  It made for a fun, but very noisy lesson!

See what you think:

After the holiday, we will look at how we take care of our teeth.  We will be brushing our teeth and see if we do a good job!
