  3. Today Buddy is going to help us investigate how our teeth can decay. First of all can you remember some of the things we need to do to keep our teeth healthy?

  4. Brush for at least two minutes every time. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. Visit the dentist. Don’t swallow toothpaste when we are done – always spit. Drink plenty of water.. Don’t rinse. Avoid snacking on sugary drinks and foods. Brush our teeth twice a day – morning and night.

  9. Now you are going to see for yourselves how food and drink can cause your teeth to decay. Instead of experimenting on your teeth we are going to use eggs. Just like your teeth, eggs contain large amounts of calcium.

  12. Now carry out your experiment using the activity sheet. • Write up: • Your experiment aim. • What you will change. • What you will keep the same. • What you think will happen.

  13. Now you have conducted your experiment we’re going to leave the eggs sat in their containers for the next three days. Every day at the same time you need to record what has happened to your egg and what its appearance looks like.
