Science Challenge - Tuesday 12th May

Today we would like you to find out some information about teeth. Use the Internet to answer these questions:

1. How many sets of teeth do humans have in a lifetime and what is each set of teeth called?

2. How many teeth do we have in our first set of teeth?

3. How many teeth do we have in our second set of teeth?

4. How many of each type of tooth do children have in their first set of teeth?

5. How many of each type of tooth do adults have?

6. Each type of tooth has a specific function. Can you explain what each tooth is used for?

Now draw a diagram of a cross section of a tooth to identify what a tooth is made up of.
