    Step 1: Select two drugs - one stimulant AND/OR one depressant AND/OR one hallucinogen AND/OR one sports drug.  Locate the following information: 

    *** Remember the information needs to be in your OWN WORDS ***

    _________

    Street name(s) 



    Describe its appearance and/or what form(s) it comes in.

    Copy and paste all the websites that you use to gather the information below: 



    Step 2: 

    FOR SCIENCE

    • DRAW diagrams of a series of neurons (3-4) to visually COMPARE how a neuron normally works and then how neuron responses / are affected by the drugs (Note: there should be TWO diagrams, one for each drug)

      • Include labels, the name of neurotransmitter(s) involved, effect of the neurotransmitter (does it turn neurotransmitters on/off, make them work quicker, etc.)

    • WRITE a detailed description that COMPARES how the two drugs act differently on the brain and how that makes you act. 

      • Reference the neuron responses and specific parts of the brain affected (eg. the lobes) and how your body responds 


    FOR PE


    Step 3: Present the work 

    • Digital or handmade poster A3 size.
