Teeth are used for chewing, ripping, grinding, and tearing food. Gums protect the roots of teeth, and keep teeth in the mouth. Tongue is used to hold the taste buds and allows us to taste foods. Lips protect the teeth. Students should draw the parts and label them.
Students can work in cooperative groups to study the parts and their jobs.
Their commercial should explain what the name of their toothpaste is, why it is good for your teeth, and why we should buy their toothpaste. They should begin by writing the commercial. Each group member should copy the written portion and memorize it. The groups then may make backgrounds and props for their commercials. Each student should bring in an empty toothpaste box to decorate with their logo.
