A (Not So) Hard Pill to Swallow
| Challenge: | Discovery | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Rideau-St. Lawrence | | City: | Brockville, ON | | School: | Brockville Collegiate Institute | | Abstract: | Pain is a sensation known to all, endured by few. Most succumb to “immediate” pain relief medications such as Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, and Aspirin. Although medications have a standardized ingestion protocol, the temperature of the water consumed varies. Medications were tested for dissolving times in cold and warm water, to find the optimal temperature, to increase efficiency. Significant results were found for critical life-saving drug Aspirin. |
