This short video gives excellent real life footage of an African Rock Python. Students will enjoy the close up shots of this amazing reptile. Africa’s largest snake, the African rock python (Python sebae) has a long, stout body, patterned with blotches that vary in color between brown, olive, chestnut and buffy yellow, often joining up in a broad, irregular stripe. The triangular head has many sharp, backwardly curved teeth and is marked on top with a dark brown “spear-head” outlined in buffy yellow. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (Less Than 2 Minutes)

Even though the great white is one of the most feared sharks in the
sea, it is also the most endangered. The large, silent predator has no
natural enemies other than human beings who hunt it for its fins, teeth, and jaws.
Great whites can reproduce once they reach about 15 years of age, and often live long lives, living up to 85 years. These sharks live in
almost all coastal waters and detect prey using their extremely
sensitive apparatus called the ‘Ampullae of Lorenzeni’ that can even
detect heart beats of fish, crabs, and other marine life it feeds on
from miles away!

Ocean basins are filled with loose sediments — the products of erosion. Most marine sediment originates inland and is fed into oceans by rivers. Debris from cliffs and other coastal landforms provides additional sediment volume, as do skeletons, shells, teeth of marine organisms, ash from volcanoes, and even asteroids. In this interactive resource adapted from the National Park Service, learn how these different parent materials influence the color and size of the materials that compose a beach, as well as other reasons why some beaches are composed entirely of fine sand, while others are a mix of pebbles and shells.

John Adams was in some form of service to America for most of his adult life - serving as a representative to the Continental Congress, envoy to European nations, Vice-President, and finally ending his political career as the second president of the United States. At only five-foot-seven, nearly bald, a little overweight, occasionally cranky, and without most of his teeth, John Adams was not an Adonis, but through his intellect, force of will, and dogged determination he would become one of the founding fathers of America.

Listerine is commonly used in America for oral hygiene. But how can we be so sure that this is true? According to various statistics only in 2015 Listerine in the USA made more that #340 millions. The numbers can approach 1 billion dollars if the brands are checked. As I said the people commonly used Listerine for mouthwash only in order to protect the teeth and mouth. But, the most people don't know that Listerine has other uses. (02:53)

How many lions would it take to take down a T-Rex? What chance does a lion stand against this dinosaur? Tyrannosaurus Rex, apex predator of the Cretaceous. With up to six-inch long teeth and weighing between 7 and 10 tons, T-Rex was the most fearsome of the Tyrannosaurids. The modern lion meanwhile boasts 3 inch long teeth and claws, weighing in between 200 and 400 lbs. What might happen if these two apex predators from different epochs were to meet for an ultimate showdown? That’s what we’ll find out today, in this episode, how many lions would it take to take down a T-Rex? One on one there's simply no challenge- but lions regularly take down prey much larger than themselves utilizing pack tactics. So could a pack of lions potentially take down a single T-Rex? First, let's take a look at each individual animal. (06:44)

This short video gives excellent real life, close up footage of a Velvet Swimming Crab. The fast-moving velvet swimming crab has a flattened carapace, which is wider than it is long. The upper surface is blue but has a reddish-brown velvety covering, which disguises the blue coloration and earns the species its common name. The pincers are equal in size and are also velvety and the eyes are bright red. The colour of these eyes and the general aggressive nature of this species may explain the alternative names of Devil crab and witch crab. Between the eyes there are around ten narrow teeth on the edge of the carapace. This is a good resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:28)

Watch this book trailer video and meet Tyrannosaurus Dad, from the picture book for children by Liz Rosenberg and illustrated by Matthew Myers. Tobias's father is a lot like other fathers—he likes corny jokes, and doing magic tricks, and works really hard at the office. But there the resemblance ends. He has teeth as sharp as steak knives, is forty feet high, and weighs as much as a locomotive. He is, in fact, a tyrannosaurus.
This funny and poignant story about a kid trying to get his dad to pay attention has a fabulous payoff, when Dad shows up and saves the day during a Field Day baseball game. When a tyrannosaurus decides to ump, no one dares disagrees with his calls! (1:02)

Watch this book trailer video for Laurie Keller's Birdy's Smile Book, a picture book for children about one little girl with one BIG message: Smile! It makes you happy, and it makes other people happy as well. This trailer will make you smile ear to ear!
Birdy starts every day by smiling at herself in the mirror. She says you can smile while doing just about anything--brushing your teeth, taking out the garbage, or eating broccoli. Okay, maybe not while eating broccoli. Even people with bad teeth (like our first president, George Washington) should show their toothy grins because there's no such thing as a bad smile. So heed Birdy's advice and practice your smile—you'll need it while reading this book!
