Grade 9

define; In my science class we were given the experiment to find what painkiller worked the best out of the following medications; Advil liquid gel, Asprin, Tylenol, No name Life brand capsule, and Motrin. we were intrigued by the Advil liquid gel because this medication failed to dissolve in past attempts even though test subject(Mr. Hortons son) speaks highly of this medication when wanting to be relieved from migraines. In our experiment, we were to make a stomach like an environment to create a more realistic environment for the pills to dissolve.

Discover;

1. what is the gasteric fluid made of?
2. what are the most important components of the stomach enviorment?
3. what can we use to represent this?
4. what is the process the pill goes through to dissolve in our bodies?

above are the pills that we used.

We wanted to try and make a liquid that would be similar to a human stomach. We had to find out how warm our stomach is and find out acid that would mimic the acid in the stomach.We found out that the stomach is around 37 degrees Celsius so we heated our test tubes on a hot plate and we used pure white vinegar and mimic the acid. our stomach like concoction was our controlled variable, the pills were the independent variable.

we decided to add some movement by tapping the test tubes to make a current, to represent the movement of the process of dissolvement in our bodies.

results

we found out that the aspirin pill dissolved first, a powdery cloudy substance compacted to the bottom. we also found out that even though we created a more stomach like concoction the advil liquid gel pill still failed to have a big effect.

in conclusion, the aspirin pill dissolved into a white powder at the bottom of the test tube at the fastest speed at the small amount of time of 60 seconds. the Advil got its results last of the medications.

debrief:

Overall, this experiment was very successful even though we didn’t receive the results that we had hoped for. We were able to create concoctions that almost resembled a stomach like enviorment, and we were able to dissolve most of the pills. with further research and testing one day I would hope that we will be able to fully dissolve the Advil liquid gel. during this testing, I believe that we should add a stronger acidic liquid to more realistically represent the stomach acid. In other testing, I also believe that we should add more movement really recreating the movement of the process inside. like said above the Advil liquid gel generally needs more exploring to get better results. I’m very grateful for this experiment because I got to really learn about the medications I have taken or will take in my lifetime. in conclusion the experiment was well planned and thought out with no major problems along the way.

In my Adl10 class we were assigned to complete an interveiw with someone that has a career that we are passionate about. for my project I interveiwed my mom, she is a registered nurse with Frazer Health.  She helps mental health clients in the community. I chose her because I’m very passionate about science/medicine. Another reasonn why I chose her is beacuse you get the oppertunity to help people.  Helping those people live better and healtheir lives.

Why are you passionate about this job? 

I’m passionate about this job because I get to get involved in the community and help people. Nursing is something that I’m very passionate about I get to practice medicine and that is something that I always highly enjoyed.

What are some obstacles that you have faced to get where you are today?

Going through University was a large challenge for me, it put a big toll on my life and it didn’t give me much time for my Fiancé (husband now). Over the years I have jumped between jobs and that was hard for my family finding a good place to do what I do is difficult.

What is something that you would pass on to someone who is interested in what your doing?

Work hard and don’t give up, if you are struggling keep going because it can only get better.

Would you be interested to further contact from riverside students and if so, how can we contact you?

Not at this time.

What kind of schooling did you go through to get to where you are today beside high school?

I completed by Bachelor of science -nursing at Douglas college. 

What are you most proud of in your career?

I’m proud that I’m a registered nurse who works with mental health clients in the community.

What I have learned.

During my interview I have learned that working in the medical field isn’t the easiest thing. There are many obstacles that might come in your way, but it is important that you keep going and don’t give up even when it gets tough. I have also learned that there is a good amount of schooling involved to work in the medical field but to me it is all worth it in the end when you get the opportunity to help people.  You may go through hardships but its what your doing that counts. This interview has given me an opportunity to really see what this job/being in the medical field entails.

In my science honours class we were intreaged to see which medication dissolves the quickest in a stomach like enviormnet.

In English we wrote a love advice to one of the characters in shake spears play “Midsummer Nights dream”.

dear Helena,

 I know it seems that your whole life experience revolves around being loved by someone else, but the only person who needs to love you is you. Sure, it’s much appreciated when someone has deep affection for you, but sometimes it better to just take care of you. Making sure whatever you are doing with your life it makes you happy. “A woman who doesn’t lover her will settle for less than she deserves and will find herself trapped in a mess that is even harder to get out of” -unknown. If you can handle it, after everything that has happened. Then take the time to think about what you want to do; not what others want you to do. Maybe one of the people fighting for your affection is worth it. You can’t control who you fall in love with it just takes time. Take care of yourself so you can take care of someone else.

In my English class we did a novel study and I created an alternate ending to the book.

“Good job helping me understand the book without even reading it”

“I really liked how you made the ending similar to the beginning”
