Kindergarten Students Learn About Dental Hygiene Through Science
SCHREIBER, ON – The Holy Angels Kindergarten students wanted to know why do we have to brush our teeth? So they learned from our friends the Storybots, and Annie and Moby from Brain Pop Jr. about the bacteria and plaque in their mouths.
They learned that to keep their mouths and teeth healthy that they need to brush their teeth for 2 minutes twice a day and eat healthy foods.
The HAS Kindergartens did an ‘eggperiment’ to see the effects of sugary and plaque on our teeth. They brushed one egg every day twice a day and didn’t brush the other at all for a week.
The class wrapped up their inquiry by inviting Denise Mulligan, one of the local dental hygienist, to come in to teach them about the Tooth Defenders and check out some of their teeth. The Kindergartens can wait to get brushing with their new tooth brushes.
