Medical Research Task

Posted by Adrian on Jan-14-07
The names of diseases are all through our language and all over the media. I find with children they often use these terms in their ‘playground language’ and carry many misconceptions about the illness or condition with them to adulthood.

I’ve done this medical research activity many times over the years and I find it great for getting the students researching but also talking over the issues with those around them.

My hope with this activity is that we can move people from the cold statistics of hospital waiting lists to empathy with the sufferers.

cheers
