They look at the images of animals, all od which have specialised teeth and try to match the animal with its skull while identifying how its teeth have become specialised and the job they have evolved to do.


Learning Objectives:

  • PoS - identify the different types of teeth and their simple functions
  • NaG - pupils might work scientifically by: comparing the teeth of carnivores and herbivores, and suggesting reasons for differences
  • WS - making systematic and careful observations; using straightforward scientific evidence to answer questions or to support their findings
