Making Inferences About Animal Teeth

When we were studying dental health, we started learning interesting facts about animal teeth by looking up information in books and on the Internet. I printed some pictures of various animals and asked the class to observe and sort the teeth. After we developed categories, I asked the class to think about why these animals have similar or different teeth. They inferred that carnivores had sharp teeth and herbivores had flat teeth.
I videotaped what happened.
