Students will identify rules for safe use of medicines. Teaching Steps 1. Students try to guess whether substances are medicine or candy. Review rules for taking medicine. Discuss why medicines have safety caps.
Students rate the safety of different medicine containers.
Reflect, summarize and discuss. Divide a piece of poster board into six to ten sections, according to the number of medicines and candies you have. Beneath each medicine or piece of candy, tape an index card labeled with the name of the substance. Tape the card turned in, so students cannot read the name. Have construction paper, glue, markers or crayons, paper and pencils for students.
