BIORHYTHMS TEETH PROJECT

Garth Powell —

Biorhythms Teeth Project students: Thank you all for your help so far with the teeth growth project. Sophie will return to schools soon, and we would love if the students involved in the Biorhythms Project could please continue saving their teeth as they get wiggly and fall out. Continue popping them in their little containers or bag, with name, school, and date tooth fell out. Keep these at home, and we will organise a date to bring them to school and Sophie can collect them to add to your data. Any other teeth that have fallen out over the summer holidays or this year are still helpful too, so please save them and hold onto them, and we will let your school know when we will visit next.


These teeth can continue to be used for the project, even if we have a break in measurement data over the year. It is possible for me to arrange a time to come to the school office and pick these up once it is suitable to do so, and things are settled.


In future we would hope to be looking to continue monthly measurements over 2020, with small groups of 3 at a time as we have been doing, and continue collecting donated teeth during visits. We also still have our supermarket/stationary vouchers for students which we hope to give out at the end of the project, in appreciation of their support.
