I am inside a very clean, white room. This is a science lab. I see scientists wearing white coats, masks, and blue gloves. They are looking at giant books and computers to find a way to help people feel better.

I see many glass jars on the table. Inside are different powders. Some are white, some are pink, and some are yellow. These are the ingredients. Each powder has a special job, like fighting a cold or stopping a fever.

I watch a scientist use a very sensitive scale. They measure the powders carefully. Even a tiny bit matters! Everything must be perfect so the medicine is safe and strong.

I follow the powders into a giant silver bowl. A big machine starts to spin. Whirr, whirr! It mixes all the different powders together. Now, they are one big, fluffy mixture.

I see a little bit of liquid being added to the powder. This liquid acts like magic glue. It helps the powder stick together so it doesn't just blow away like dust.

I watch the mixture go into a very fast machine called a press. Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! The machine pushes the powder down very hard into tiny round molds. Suddenly, the powder becomes a solid, hard circle.

In another corner, I see something different. Two halves of a tiny plastic shell come together. The machine fills the shell with medicine and clicks them shut. These are called capsules. They look like tiny colorful space pods.

I see the tablets moving into a spinning drum. They get a thin, shiny coat of color. The coat makes the medicine smooth so it is easy to swallow. It also protects the medicine from the air.

I watch the tablets slide down a long path. A special camera looks at every single one. If a tablet is broken or the wrong shape, a 'robot arm' pushes it away. Only the perfect ones can stay.

I see the tablets falling into a funnel. A machine counts them very fast. One, two, three... thirty! Exactly thirty tablets fall into a small plastic bottle.

I watch a machine put a bright label on the bottle. It tells us the name of the medicine and how to use it. Then, a 'click-clack' sound happens as a child-proof cap is twisted on tight.

I see the bottles being packed into cardboard boxes. They are ready to go to the pharmacy. Soon, they will help a child feel better and get back to playing. My journey is finished.
