This week, Reception had another exciting visit to the science lab with Mr. Behan. He showed us his giant model teeth and reminded us how to take care of our own teeth by brushing them properly and eating healthy foods.
We learned that different teeth have different functions, such as biting, tearing, and chewing. Mr. Behan also shared skulls of a rat, a cat, and a deer with us. We used the shape of their teeth to investigate their diets and learned how animals’ teeth are specially designed for what they eat.
A big thank you to Mr. Behan for such an enjoyable and informative session—Reception children always love their visits to the lab.
