Taking medicine independently is an important life skill for students to master. Since this skill is so crucial for health and safety purposes, students benefit when it is practiced in a safe and structured environment. With this set of GOOGLE SLIDES, students can simulate this experience in a manner that mirrors steps needed to do it independently on their own at home.

This activity is specifically formatted to be used with Google Drive and is compatible with Google Classroom. Google Drive is an amazing resource that many educators are now using as an interface to support 1:1 digital instruction in the classroom. I pair it up with Google Classroom (a free website) that allows me to digitally send each student in my class a copy of the worksheets that they later submit to me for grading. With this lesson, students get to drag and drop a variety of objects into their correct locations. It is an amazing paper-free process and the kids LOVE working on these worksheets on the computer.

Students will be given a specific ailment they are trying to fix and then will be asked to select the correct medicine to take from a field of three visual answers. Once correctly selected, they will then try and figure out the next time it is appropriate to take the dosage again from a field of four digital clocks. Finally, students will be asked to count the correct number of pills they need according to the prescription label. Students will practice doing this a total of 12 times for each activity mentioned.
