Hello future Scientist!!!!

Teeth are hard structures located on the jaws in the mouth. There are four main types of teeth, and each one has a different shape and function.

The four main types of teeth are:

Incisors - our incisors are eight teeth in the front center of our mouth (four on both the bottom and top). These are typically the first adult teeth that a child will get, coming in when the child is between six and eight years old. Incisors are the teeth that we use to bite into our food.
Canines - our canines are the next teeth that develop in your mouth. we have four of them and they are our sharpest teeth, used for tearing apart food.
Premolars - Premolars are used for tearing and crushing food. Unlike our incisors and canines, premolars have a flat biting surface. We have eight premolars in total.
Molars - our molars are your largest teeth. Their function is similar to that of the premolars, to grind, tear, and crush food. Molars have a large flat biting surface which makes them perfect for this job.

Task

1. Your task is to investigate the teeth and create a model of the teeth and what they do and how it connect to the rest of the body.

2. Make a model of the teeth.

3. The model should display the four types of teeth, the incisors, canines, premolars and the molars.

4. Create a booklet stating the shape and purpose of each set of teeth.

Process

A. Make a model of the teeth.

Watch one of the video below, then choose one for your guidance to make the model of the teeth.

B. Create a booklet and document the shape and uses of each sets of teeth.

Use cartridge paper to create the cover of the booklet.

Booklet should have a Content Page

Be creative.

Conclusion

Now students, I want you to think about what you have learnt and see what you understand from the information.

Did you know that your teeth is apart of your digestive system. Your teeth breaks down your foods by crushing or cutting it before you swallow it.

Humans have 32 teeth, although some person have fewer teeth. The ENAMEL is the protective outer layer of your teeth, it is the hardest substance in the human body.

Teeth

Teeth are hard structures located on the jaws in the mouth. There are four main types of teeth, and each one has a different shape and function

Humans have two sets of teeth; the first set of teeth is called the primary teeth also called milk of baby teeth, and the permanent teeth or adult teeth. Our baby teeth starts to develop before before they become visible, our baby teeth starts to become visible as early as 6 months old to 1 year old.

The crown of the teeth is formed first while the root of the tooth develops even after the tooth has erupted. The baby teeth are in place between ages 2 1/2 years to 3 years and remains in place until around age 6 years. Between ages 6 years to 12 years, the primary or baby teeth begin to fall out to make way for our permanent teeth or our adult teeth.

Your teeth are part of your digestive system. They break down foods by crushing or cutting them before you swallow. Most humans have 32 teeth, although some have more and some have fewer. Enamel (the protective outer layer of your teeth) is the hardest substance in the human body.
