Students will write in their journals the names of each student in the class. They will walk around the room and collect the data from each student's desk. Students will then make a class graph of the number of teeth lost in the class and answer teacher selected questions. Discuss why different animals have different kids of teeth. For example giraffes have flat teeth for chewing leaves, but lions have sharp teeth for tearing meat.
Students can draw an animal that has flat teeth and an animal that has sharp teeth.
Students will make an oversized construction paper toothbrush. 1- Put one tooth in a glass of mouthwash with fluoride. Place the other tooth in an empty clear glass. Let the teeth sit overnight. Day 2 - Empty the mouthwash.
