1) If generic drugs have the same effects as brand name drugs then they should take the same time to penetrate a soluble surface.
2) The independent variable in the science component is the drugs I will be using. The dependent variables will be the times that they need to penetrate the soluble surface and the control is the soluble surface.
3) My science fair component will help fill the knowledge I need to be a successful community pharmacist which will help me explain the differences between generics and brands.
4) I will need a cup to hold the liquids with the water with the drugs, I will need paper as a soluble surface, and I
will need a generic version of aspirin and a brand name version of aspirin.
5) This is a Chemistry type science experiment.
