LKS2 – Class 5 – Science

Last week, we had a very exciting visit from a local dentist to help us with our learning all about Animals, Including Humans. To introduce our learning on teeth, we discussed the different teeth in the mouth – canines, molars, premolars and incisors. Then, we learnt about their different functions and why teeth are so important. We partook in various different activities, including:

1. Using teeth to learn and practise our brushing technique.
2. Seeing the effect of sugar on the teeth – using eggs as a study to see the negative effect sugar has.
3. Investigated how much sugar is in various foods/drinks that we enjoy – including Haribo’s, apple juice and ice cream.
