We learned about teeth this week!

I found some really fun science, crafts, games, and activities for us to learn about dental health.

We’re using Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology by Apologia as our primary text. We love the fun experiments and learning activities.

Dental Unit

We learned about stained teeth with an egg and cola.

Stained Teeth Experiment

Alex demanded an experiment page like his sisters. And he did awesome!

Little Scientist

The kids made predictions and drew their ideas. Kate drew a time lapse of the egg sinking, changing colors, and then exploding. She’s special like that. Tori drew the egg sinking and turning brown. Alex drew the egg floating.

Drawing Predictions

The egg didn’t explode, much to Kate’s chagrin. It did sink and turn an icky brown.

Stained Egg

We used Thieves toothpaste and baking soda to brush the shell. It cleaned off a lot, but not all.

Brushing the egg

I put the colored egg beside a clean one to show the difference.

The girls did a great job on their science experiment pages.

Completing Experiment Pages

We learned about cavities.

I stuck a hole in an apple and we watched it turn brown and get soft and rotten.

After one week, it was disgusting:

We placed a tooth in cola and watched it rot. It turned brown and soft.

Rotten Tooth

Alex made a happy fluffy tooth.

We visited the dentist.

The kids (and I) all had dentist appointments – and NO CAVITIES!

Spiderman Sunglasses to the Rescue

We practiced flossing with egg cartons and ribbon.

Flossing Teeth Activity

We labeled teeth drawings.

Labeling a Tooth

I found some fun literacy works for the girls – sentences, matching, ABC order.

Literacy Work with a Dental Theme

They played this teeth game with mini marshmallows a gazillion times.

Teeth Games

We learned a poem about dental health. Subscribe to the blog for the free download (and others!)

Making a model of the heart with marshmallows, colored icing, and graham crackers…sounds so heart healthy, eh?

Doing Lesson 9 of Apologia Anatomy for science.

Of course, Lil Sisters had to get on it…there was icing to lick!

Icing for Heart Craft

Spreading on the icing…(so serious)

Painting the Heart with Icing

The finished product…more pink than red and the blue is too light…oh well…

We did a lot of science this past week or so. A LOT OF SCIENCE.

We weren’t very diligent about completing the experiments in our anatomy science book, so we knocked out several recently.

Here is Elizabeth laughing about how gross it felt sticking her fingers into Jello.

Jello Cell

The finished Jello human cell. We then threw it in the sink as it looked so unappetizing. The Skittles “bled” meaning their colors clouded into the Jello. Elizabeth was pretty disgusted.

Completed Jello Cell

Elizabeth’s “Alton Brown pose” before dissecting a chicken wing.

Dissecting a Chicken Wing

The “not so Alton Brown pose”…

Chicken Wing Dissection

We also did music (piano and voice), Latin, math…studied Mongolia, Georgia (the state), history…but alas, no pictures of those. She’s had a much better attitude this week and has been much more helpful with chores and her siblings and completing her school work more diligently.

We’re preparing notebooks for every subject to complete the transfer into Notebooking with our Ambleside curriculum. We’ve used Notebooking loosely, but I really want to rev it up and get her more independent as she heads toward high school. I can’t believe that my baby will be in 6th grade this fall…

Since Daddy is deployed, they offer Parents Days Out once a month. I dropped off the littles and we had ourselves a Mama-Daughter date to the thrift store and lunch at McGrath’s. That was sheer seafood awesomeness.

Elizabeth now has a palate expander to prepare for braces next month. I don’t laugh at her lisps ALL the time…

Here is Big Sister reading to Little Sisters. They love this anatomy book!

Here is the little clay girl with toothpick skeleton they made from lesson 2.

They also made some layered human body paper dolls from a Scholastic workbook Easy Make & Learn Projects: Human Body (Grades 2-4)
and are working on a cell model mobile. We’re focusing on healthy eating this week with a Food Pyramid bulletin board and food file folder games from File Folder Fun. (oh, the alliteration!)
