Using Periodic Trends to Predict Drug Effectiveness
Students will be given a scenario where a scientist is attempting to develop a medication for a brain disorder. The scientist has developed a few different drugs. There were several chemicals that would be effective but the size of the chemical is a factor. In order to actually be effective the chemical needs to be small enough to fit through the blood brain barrier (BBB). The students’ task is to determine the effectiveness of the scientists’ proposed drugs. The students will work in groups of
