THE USE OF MEDICINES FOR WORMS AND PARASITES
Teaching aids like the second antibiotic game can also be used for learning about
the medicines that fight different parasites and worms in the gut. Again, students
can make a set of cards to use on a flannel-board.
Each medicine is represented by a figure with projecting ‘weapons’ that indicate
the worms or parasites it can fight. For example:
Cards representing the different parasites and worms have cut-out shapes to
match with the projecting ‘weapons’ of the appropriate medicines. For example:
To be sure things arc clear, use the common names of worms along with drawings.
By making up games and testing each other with these cards, students have fun
and at the same time learn the correct use of worm and parasite medicines.
