Why do we take medicine?
Description
When we become ill, we sometimes need to take medicine to make us better. We should only take medicines which are intended for us. Some people need to take medicine regularly. Some children who suffer from asthma explain what it鈥檚 like to have asthma. The safe storage of medicine is also discussed.
Classroom Ideas
During work on keeping healthy and looking after people who are ill, this clip could be used to emphasise how to use medicines safely. Students could talk about times they were unwell and what helped them to feel better. Puppets could be used to illustrate and generate discussion on who can give different types of medicine. The safety aspect of medicine should be emphasised.
