Family homework activity that encourages students to partner with their family members to explore the OTC medicines in their home. Students apply and expand upon concepts learned in class including: safe storage location, discarding expired products, finding correct medicine measuring tools, and identifying medicines that contain the same active ingredients.
- "All About Me" [Word] [PDF ]
Provides a place for students to record medicines used, how they feel, and questions to ask their doctor before they go for doctors' visits. We hope that using "All About Me" will encourage students to take an active role in their healthcare and their interactions with healthcare professionals.
