Rekomendasi Aktivitas

Aktivitas 1 - Science Influencers 💊

> Durasi: 60 to 70 minutes

- Tujuan: Enhance students' research and communication skills by leveraging digital platforms to share scientific insights.

- Deskripsi Aktivitas: Students will design a social media campaign taking on the role of digital influencers. Each group selects a medication that has notably influenced society. Using digital tools, they will craft posts, videos, and stories to educate the public about the significance and impact of the chosen medication.

- Instruksi:

• Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Have each group choose a medication known for its significant impact on society (for example, Penicillin, the Polio Vaccine, etc.).

• Encourage students to use smartphones and computers to research their selected medication.

• Each group should develop a social media campaign that includes at least three types of content: an informational post, an educational video, and a series of interactive stories.

• Provide them with digital resources such as video editing apps (like InShot or Kinemaster) and design tools (like Canva).

• Finally, students will present their campaigns to the class, explaining why they chose their medication and discussing its wider impact on society.

Aktivitas 2 - Scientific Life Game 🎲

> Durasi: 60 to 70 minutes

- Tujuan: Promote teamwork, encourage historical inquiry, and deepen understanding of how medications affect society via a fun, interactive activity.

- Deskripsi Aktivitas: Students will create a digital board game that simulates the evolution of medicine and illustrates how medications have impacted public health over time. They will use online tools to design an interactive game for the whole class to enjoy.

- Instruksi:

• Break the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Instruct each group to research different historical eras and explore how medications evolved in each period.

• Using digital tools such as Google Slides or game design platforms like Scratch or Kahoot, students will develop a game board and set the rules.

• The game should incorporate questions and challenges related to medications and their societal impacts.
