Unit Fuelling the Body Topic Mechanical Digestion MYP Year Level 3 Syed Arshad Mushtaq

Lesson Objective
Describe the mechanical

digestion List type of teeth in humans

Mechanical Digestion
It is the process of physically breaking down

food into small pieces. If you swallowed food in large pieces, Your teeth are the tools of mechanical digestion.

Teeth- tool for Mechanical Digestion

Humans have four

different types of tooth. Each type has a different shape, position in the mouth and job in breaking down food.

Now!!! see all in one

Make a Graphic organizer on your science copy book

Make a graphic organizer comparing different types of teeth based on Shape Position Number Job in the mouth

Here is the idea! But you can make it in your own way too
Shape Incisors Canine Molar Premolar Number Position Role in mouth

Shape

Position

Role in mouth

Incisors

Spade shape With straight and sharp edges Pointed

Number
At front of the upper and lower Jaw Each side of incisors Make the back side of the upper and lower jaw Next to each canine

Cutting and Biting food

Canine

Shearing and tearing

Molar

Have cusps

Now tell what is C

See all in one!!!!

Now its your turn Pick one option

Option one Draw structure of tooth and label its part without looking at book. Option two Imagine you are a tooth, describe yourself

Lesson 3 What do they Eat

Lesson Objective Describe the teeth and eating habits of herbivores, carnivores and omnivores

Little brainstorming
Why Rabbit has two large teeth at the front while lion has 4

on sides?

Depending on what they eat, animals can be classified as

Herbivores (Plant eaters) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VejLXTsJ Carnivores (Animal eaters)rJc Omnivores (Both Plant & Animal eaters) Insectivore (Insect eaters)

Insectivores

Herbivore
They are plant eater Have large incisors for

wombat

biting and cutting. Do not have canines Large premolar and molar for grinding plants
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCgw_UXP-w

Carnivore
Eat animals Have large canines for

Tasmanian Devil

stabbing and holding the alive prey. Use incisors are used for tearing meat Cutting edges in molar and premolar http://www.youtube.co m/watch?v=z5xoQ-VftTc

Omnivore
Eat both plant and

Human

animals They have all different type of teeth to break down both meat and plant

Insectivore
They are carnivores that

Numbat

eat only insects. Teeth are small and pointed so they can crush the exoskeleton of the insects. Insects are then swallowed whole

Look at the picture of teeth and predict which class this animal belongs?
Herbivore Omnivore

Carnivore
