"What's up Doc?"- Medicinal Remedies Past and Present

In this lesson, students will locate primary sources in newspaper ads, charts or articles for information about how the medical industry has changed since the 1800s. They will identify three medical discoveries, technologies, pharmaceuticals or surgical procedures done in those time- periods. They will decide whether the information would be relevant today. Students will research what scientific progress has been made today from the products and medical technology of the past. Students will present their "medical" discoveries during a class "Medicine Show". Students will recreate their "wares" for the class or design a poster to advertise their product or procedure. Students will analyze the presentations made at the "medicine show".
