Today, one of our students told the class about a vaccine that treats malaria called Hydroxychloroquine. We had a discussion about what was in this chemical. We found that there was hydrogen, chloroine, and a mystery element that we couldn't find on the Table of Elements. We also looked at the different elements in sugar and found carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. We found that it was a carbohydrate (carbon and hydrogen) and that the amount of hydrogen and oxygen had the ratio of water. Her is a picture of one.

Each person got a paper that talked about there type of disease. Some groups chose to read there paper individually, and the other had one person who read aloud to their group. After, they had to take notes about their type of disease which they would later use in a presentation.
We started with the bacterial disease group, who talked about cholera. They told how it spread through warm water. Then, the class ended. We will continue with the presentations tomorrow.
