· Include a picture of the active ingredient in the drug.

· Derive and solve a dosage problem based on the medicine that you choose.

· Substitute your medicine to create your own problem and then solve it.

· Make sure to show your work.

· Lastly, create a dosage problem for a classmate to solve.  Do not solve it yourself.
