Mrs. Fay's classes: 8th grade Drug research projects

Your assignment is to create a visual presentation on your iPad that will educate your classmates about your assigned drug category.  Groups can be no more than 4 people.

Information you must include:

 - how the drug is taken
 - what the drug looks like/where it comes from
 - are there any medical uses/ legal issues
 - physical effects on the body
