I decided to do my project on osteoporosis because it was very interesting to me, and a few of my family members have osteoporosis so I wanted to learn a little more about it. My drawing shows what happens inside of a healthy bone, and what happens inside of a bone with osteoporosis.
itemprop="discussionURL"One CommentI chose to look into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy for my project. In the earlier stages of DMD, a child’s calve muscles may appear larger than average, giving the muscle a healthier look. However, in reality, the fibers are being broken down. They can not keep up with the healing processes …
My submission for the STEAM project about bone cells and bone fractures. -Claire Ketzler
For my STEAM project, I discussed the effects of traumatic brain injuries as this expands on objective of the nervous system. I displayed how the brain injury occurs and the effects on the brain activity. Since I love soccer and millions of traumatic injuries occur from this sport, I portrayed …
My STEAM project is on the corneal disease, keratoconus. My project shows three diagrams of the disease progression on an eye’s cornea in a cross stitch medium. The top one shows an eye in a normal, healthy state with various parts of the eye stated. The bottom left one shows …
For my STEAM project, I wanted to look at different types of disorders, diseases, and cancers that occur on Chromosome 11. I chose chromosome 11 as I have a mutation on my chromosome 11. I have BWS. It is not a sever case like others but, my right side is …
I did my STEAM project on how pain processing differs in fibromyalgia patients when compared to neurotypical patients. I used the sketchbook app on my computer to design and implement all aspects of the project. As shown above, there aren’t many major differences. The most important difference in pain processing …
This is my Presentation on Designing instructions for different movements. I chose to demonstrate this by relating it to lifts and exercises common in the gym and why they work within different workout programs.

I did my project on how vitamin D affects bone health. Without vitamin D, calcium cannot be absorbed. This causes osteoclasts to break down bone to release calcium into the bloodstream so the body can continue to function, which causes osteoporosis. I used clay to sculpt a healthy-looking bone compared …
