10th Graders Explore Acid-Promoted Dental Decay

10th Graders Explore Acid-Promoted Dental Decay

Sophomores in Dr. Berthel’s chemistry classes recently culminated their examination of acid/base reactions with a look at acid-promoted dental decay. 

Students undertook an analysis of their own dietary habits in light of data presented in a paper published in the Journal of the American Dental Association entitled “The pH of Beverages in the United States."  

They then shared their newfound knowledge with Ms. Sankar’s sixth grade science classes. As the saying goes, “to teach is to learn twice!”
