10 Feb Colombia class – studying our teeth
This week we in pshce we have been studying our teeth and the importance in looking after them.
We did an experiment where we used egg shells to represent our teeth. We left the egg shells in different drinks including juice, coke and water to see the effect they have on our teeth.
We made predictions and then waited.
The following day, we noticed the juice egg shell had turned a purple/silver colour, the coke had turned the egg shell brown and the water had stayed the same.
Arjin – We really enjoyed this experiment as we could relate to it and now understand the impact different drinks have on our teeth.
Mahad – we also discussed how it is ok to drink these drinks occasionally, just not every day. It’s all about making the right choices.
Maria – from now on, I will be choosing water for my drink with dinner and brushing my teeth twice a day with a pee sized amount of toothpaste.
