Overview

Chemotherapy, what it does to the body, what its made of, and how it works and helps patients with cancer.

Problem

Cancer is obviously a very important part of humanity. Cancer is the number one cause of death for children, this made me and my partner realize that cancer is a big deal especially now a days. Me and my partner wanted to do research on cancer treatments, their side effects and how we can possibly improve cancer treatment in the future.

Method

We will research treatment / chemo in depth then start organizing our trifold. Once done we will start decorating and finalizing our project. Once the project has been finalized and we feel confident with the trifold we will practice our presentation and make sure we are happy with how the presentation sounds and looks.

Research

we used Google and a bit of AI we also used websites to find information. we found out how cancer spreads, how chemotherapy works and we drew many pictures to back up our information. lastly we found out the side effects of chemotherapy, what medicines

Data

The national cancer institute My health Alberta Google photos Ai overview We got most of our information from these websites,everything that is on our trifold was most likely gotten from these websites.

Conclusion

In conclusion we researched chemotherapy and its effectiveness and compared it to radiation, and we practiced presenting by recording ourselves and seeing how we sound and what we could do to improve for the actual science fair.

Citations

Me and my partner got most of our information from the national cancer institute. Full credits for research go to them. We also got other sources from my health Alberta and google images for our trifold.

Acknowledgement

We have our acknowledgement in our log book, which also has our research and when we worked on the project. Also in our log book is the exact dates we found our research, where we got our research from and the exact things we did when we worked on the trifold together, and of course we have the acknowledgments in our log book aswell
