Anatomy: Jaws and Claws

Grades: 2nd - 3rd (Ages: 7 - 9) Co-ed

Everyone has to eat! What can tooth, beak and claw structures tell us about an animal’s diet and how they live?  How are herbivore teeth different from omnivore teeth?  What could you swallow if you had a mouth like a snake?  Examine different teeth and beaks to find out how to bite, chew, and grind your way through your food.  Make a mold of your own teeth, test out the grinding molars of a horse and examine the claws of a raptor and bear.
