Our teeth

Teeth and toothpaste

In science, for the past few lessons, we have been talking about teeth.

We found out we had different types of teeth, and that each type was meant for a specific purpose. We also learnt to be very careful and look after them, because once we get our adult teeth, we can't get new ones! That's why we also discussed food (healthy and unhealthy), as what we eat does have an enormous impact on our dental health.

One of the most hands-on teeth moment we had was when a group of people from the Centre of the Cell came to our class and offered us demonstrations and activities, all revolving around the topic of teeth.

Finally, today, for our last science lesson before Christmas break, we concluded our teeth topic by designing and presenting our own made-up toothpaste box! We tried to make them as appealing as possible so people would want to buy them (and use them!), and we thought about what sort of arguments could be used to sell our toothpaste.

Have a look at our demonstrations on our Flickr page!

What types of teeth do you know? What are they for?
What are the different names we give to our teeth?
What new fact(s) did you learn about teeth?
How long should you brush your teeth for? How often?

If you have some answers to give, comment this post!

  5. i think being healthy is good not eating chocolate cakes crisps and sweets and i think we should drink a lot of water and eat 5 of your 5 of a day and eat loads of vegetables instead of those fast foods like McDonald and chicken and chips or KFC. Just to keep our teeth healthy.
