Medication Box

For the second unit of Cure, my classmates and I learned about medicines and how they work. We took a closer look at medicine bottles, looking at the back for things such as an active ingredient, side effects, intended effects, and dosage. For the second Action Project, we were to make a medicine box of an aliment. I chose to do my box on Sickle Cell. The box had to include two medications, one prescribed and one over the counter. Meaning you could get it at a store without a prescription. The other two were to be alternative medications. Lastly we had to include a QR code. This code took the viewer to a YouTube video, where we preformed our quadratic equations problem. This problem was to show how we implemented math into our research. Overall this project was interesting because my classmates and I were the first group to do it.
