Summary of Project:  Students will conduct an Internet search to find information about contraceptive methods by utilizing the suggested Web sites listed below.  They may also conduct a search on their own to locate any other appropriate sites.  For each contraceptive method, students must answer the following questions:  What is it called? Is it used by males or females? When properly used, how effective is it? How does it work? What is the name of a specific brand?  Students will then create a chart or graph to compare the effectiveness of each contraceptive.  Last, they are to design an advertisement for one contraceptive that makes reference as to why it is better than another method.  Specific facts must be presented.

Assessment:  Students will present their charts or graphs, along with their advertisements while providing a brief explanation to the class.  Each student will receive a grade for this presentation and for the designs of the advertisement and chart or graph.
