For my project, I discuss about how oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen can react to the smoke of tobacco. Like most things humans consume, tobacco and its smoke has species of those four elements. These species negatively effect the human body, such as, the lungs, liver, and heart. The oxygen, …
I composed a short string quartet based on the ideas of how we hear. I used the four instruments to represent certain parts of the hearing process. The cello represents the initial sound, creating the first note you hear and the basis in which all other instruments react to. The …
This project dives deeper into the phases of mitosis. Specifically, what drives mitosis? There is such a vast wealth of information on the things that are driving it, and scientists still don’t know everything about it. It is incredible how intricate and compex it is at such a microscopic level! …
My drawing represents bone marrow inside of a long bone. The oval represents yellow marrow, but that it will not always look the same based on age differences. Other shaded portions are red marrow, but are also not exact representations, because age can vary the amount of red vs. yellow …
My STEAM project is about how compromised lungs due to carcinogens, like smoking, have a change in cells. The change experienced in the cells makes it harder to fight off foreign matter to keep the lungs healthy. With that, lung cancer is the outcome and tumors will most likely form. …
I made a picture to represent how the breakdown of the myelin sheath from MS affects the electrical impulses in our nerves. You can see one cell has full sheaths and the other doesn’t. The impulses are full and travel down the entirety of the axon in the healthy cell. …
Steam Project MS STEAM Essay For my STEAM project I have decided to research the disease Multiple Sclerosis. This is an autoimmune disorder that causes the myelin sheathe on our neurons to be damaged, which decreases the body’s ability to control electrical signals being sent to various parts of the …
My STEAM project is on bone repair after a comminuted fracture of the calcaneus bone. The four steps of bone repair are hematoma formation, fibrocartilaginous callus formation, bony callus formation, and bone remodeling. I modeled all my bones out of fondant and used real screws to depict the screws.
I decided to do my STEAM project on breast cancer and relate it to the stages of Mitosis. In the picture below is a basic anatomy of the breasts that I sketched and then colored in and blended with the James Charles eyeshadow pallet. I thought it was interesting to …
