Make your own bite impression

Instructions

1. See if you can pick out your individual teeth and decide how they would be best used (side to side plant chewing, or sharp cutters for tearing meat).

2. You can also get an impression of your teeth by biting into some dough (just ignore the taste!).

3. Get the bite on your family and friends!

Back to dinosaur experiments

You will need:

Carbon paper
Normal paper

Teeth play an important part in the classification of dinosaurs because teeth are very durable, and are often well preserved. You can read about new discoveries on dinosaur teeth at Cosmos magazine

Also, teeth impressions are used in Forensic Science. Bite marks can be traced back to the individual dentistry of a suspect... vampires watch out!
