Rainforest Medicine Products

In the last few weeks of term, 9T worked on creating a medicinal product using medicine found in the rainforest. They were to give it a name, think about its target audience, and create labels and logos for the product. Finally, they created advertisments to showcase the product they had produced. Below are the ads, which feature the various products that were made.

Medicines of the rainforest

This week we have spent some time learning about the many medicines that originate from the rainforest. We were given a list of patients with a variety of illnesses, and had to find some medicine from the rainforest that could help the ailments. We took turns being patients and doctors, and once we had figured out the medication needed, we filled in prescriptions for the sick person.
Below are some of these prescriptions, which show just some of the multitude of medicines available in the rainforest.
How sad it will be if all of this is lost one day!
