Carrot Modeling of Bone Fractures
For this project are used carrots to model nine of the most common bone fractures. I used carrots to model the fractures as they do a surprisingly good job at mimicking human bones in how they break.
Osteoarthritis of the Hip and Hip Resurfacing
I did my STEAM project on osteoarthritis of the hip joint. I used play doh to create three different models of the hip joint including a regular hip joint, an arthritic hip joint and a hip joint after hip resurfacing.
CLASSIFICATION OF BONE FRACTURES
My STEAM project is based on the visual difference between bone fractures. tibia fibula
Osteoarthritis in the Hip joint
My medium or visual is an acrylic painting of the hip joint, a synovial joint. I choose the hip rather than the knee because of the ball and socket type joint. The head of the femur articulates with the cup-shaped acetabulum. The joint cavity is enclosed by a fibrous capsule …
Steam Project: Breast Cancer
My STEAM Project is on Breast Cancer. I painted the anatomy of the breasts and included the location of the tumor, as show above, which is formed by cancer in the cells. Breast cancer can be found in both women and men, although it is most common in women in …
Meniscus Tears and Movement of the Knee
For my STEAM project I will be discussing the bones and muscles of the knees. I will be going into depth of how they work together to help us run and walk, what happens to them when they are injured (i.e. meniscus tears and other sports injuries), and the healing …
Facial Expressions
For our STEAM project, I chose to use the objective of “relate the interaction of muscles and the skeletal system.” The facial muscles are different than most of our other skeletal muscles, because they insert into the skin and therefore create our facial expressions by moving the skin, rather than …
Corticosteroid Induced Osteoporosis
My project is a representation of corticosteroid induced osteoporosis. The overall object of this project is to go over how the stages of bones development and repair can be disrupted using corticosteroids. My diagram shows the bone markings of two different types of bones. One is a healthy bone before …
Multiple Sclerosis and the Nervous system
I chose to do my STEAM project on MS as I have had family members affected by the disease and I wanted to understand it as much as possible. I made nerve cells out of clay to show the degeneration caused by the attacks and flare ups. I feel that …
