Coke Eggs







Healthy teeth are essential to a healthy body! We did an experiment today with plaque (the eew gross stuff that grows on our teeth). I boiled eggs and soaked them in Coke overnight. Each child was given a toothbrush with toothpaste. The Coke is the plaque and they are challenged to brush it away. Not easy! As 1/2 of the class brushed away the plaque the others were researching teeth and dental health from our nonfiction collection and journaling their information. They should have plenty of interesting things to tell you tonight!


Healthy Habits to Avoid Plaque:


  • brush regularly

  • floss regularly

  • visit the dentist regularly

  • eat fruits and vegetables

  • avoid sugary foods and drinks

Plaque = CAVITIES!!
