Welcome to Aspirin Adventures
The module is not intended as a curriculum. The module was written with the idea that a teacher would select activities or readings that could be “dropped into” existing curriculum, either as an attractive substitute for an old activity or as a supplement to existing activities.
The module's topic is, of course, pain and pain relief. In it you will find activities that support a broad range of knowledge and content skills:
- Inquiry skills
- Math skills
- Graphing skills
- General understanding of how science evolves
- Lab skills
- General health and wellness
We expect that chemistry teachers will be the principal users of this module, but health teachers, biology teachers and math teachers will find appropriate activities here. The site map on the teacher page has been coded to give you an idea about each activity. Each activity has been aligned with the National Science Standards and the New Jersey State Standards. This will be of use if you are looking for activities to support one or more of those standards.
Despite the fact that many of the activities are related, many can "stand alone." You can pick and choose those which are appropriate in your class or you can select a section that fits in your class and do all of it. There are many possible ways you can use the module.
