Answer 1

One place you might look is the poison control site: http://www.poison.org/prevent/

Most adult vitamins look just like medicine to children too young to read. That's why kid's vitamins usually have cartoons on the label and are made in fun colors and shapes - so they'll take it and think it is candy instead of medicine.

Ask your librarian for a PDR (physician's desk reference) on prescription medicines. It will have pictures.

Answer 2

well, you'll want to go to the library and look up pharmaceuticals .. There are tons of books on the different types of medicines and what they look like. A whole book isdediecated to different products and what their pills look like.

For sicence projects, you'll want to avoid using websites since they are looked down upon. Look to your library and find articles on vitamins, pharmaceuticals and similar. If you have questions consult with your teacher or hte librarian.

Answer 3
