Rotten tooth experiment
This experiment provides a fun visual demonstration of the damage sugar can do to your teeth and the importance of brushing your teeth every day!
Materials needed:
Some hard-boiled eggs, soda, toothpaste and toothbrush
Setup is quick but takes time! The eggs need to be soaked in soda water overnight.
After an overnight soak, we were ready to see what happened to our eggs! oops!
This egg was browned by the soda! Let's clean it up!
Invite the kids to help clean up the egg with a toothbrush and toothpaste!
And lead him that this is why we need to brush our teeth...especially after eating sweets!
This led to some great observations and discussions about dental health!
What a stunning visual!
You can also use a record sheet to let your children record and learn together during the process.
