Teeth

Our first tooth has not fallen out YET but we are still reading tons about the science of it all.
Today we read the book "the magic school bus and the missing tooth" and we made a paper version of a tooth to understand the inner workings of teeth.




We drew a big tooth on construction paper and colored in the nerves and pulp.




We cut that out...




We cut 2 semi circles to illustrate the outside and inside parts of the gums...




We then cut a slit into the paper to slide our tooth into the gums leaving the crown of the tooth exposed and the roots hidden.




Here's the tooth...









And oh oh... A decayed tooth!!
