Control your Breathing.

For my second unit in our STEAM class Cure, we learned about different treatments and medicines. We studied how different drugs affect the body and how the body can handle things.
We went to the International Museum of Surgical Science for a Fe. There we looked at the history of the medical field before groundbreaking medical improvements and advancements.

On one of our FE's, we did a miracle berry lab. I wasn't here on that day but did the lab at home. In the lab, I had to take a miracle berry and try it out with different foods. The results were pretty cool and interesting since everything I tasted was sweet. The berry worked a lot better than I thought they would, and it was amazing to experience that feeling. At first, I thought it wasn't gonna work but it did.

In this action project, we had to choose a symptom to study. I chose shortness of breath/wheezing.

We then had to research three treatments for the symptom, prescription, over the counter, and one home remedy. I chose Dulera, Primatene Mist, and Steam treatments. We then had to create a medicine box to show our research and show if we understand how it worked. We also had to create drug facts for each of the treatments and make a comparison of the three. This project was a little challenging for me but I overcame and prevailed. So without further or do here's my medicine box.

Lock and key method for my box would be the reliving of stress on the lungs and chest. From the medicines listed and one treatment, they all block out pain receptors and allow your body to adjust as needed. They allow your body to keep damaged cells from making and releasing prostaglandin. When the cells don't release this chemical, it means that the brain won't get the pain message as fast. So when the pain goes away you still may have it, the brain just won't register it.
