Activity #3: Testing Medicine


Today students participated in a simulation of a clinical trial that tests headache medicine. Students did not actually test medicine!!!! Students started out by trying a yellow drink which represented their headache. They then tried a red drink that represented their medicine. They then decided if it tasted the same, better than, or worse than the yellow drink. The class then collected the results and analyzed them. They then created a bar graph to show the results. Only two groups were actually given medicine all other groups had no medicine so it should have tasted the exact same. This was to make sure it was truly working and that students were not faking the results. Overall, the students did a great job with the simulation.

I did grade notebooks today so students should have 3 new grades!!!!
