The rabies virus is very sneaky. From the start, the virus travels along the neural pathway into the central nervous system. The virus will infect the muscle cells closest to the site of infection. This is where they can replicate without being “seen” by the infected immune system. They replicate, …
Hey everyone! My STEAM Project identifies and explains the components of a drop of blood, which includes the cells within and the conditions that can arise from abnormal levels of the cells. My STEAM project is based on the objectives of the key components of blood and the diseases that …
For my STEAM project I created a painting of the human heart, using various chicken materials such as molted feathers, eggshells, and chicken food crumbles. I felt that these thinks tie into the concept of the human heart because even though we think chickens and our hearts are simple, they …
For my STEAM project I further investigated and portrayed a few aspects of the female reproductive system. In particular, I examined the role of hormones during oogenesis, the menstrual (uterine) cycle, ovulation and pregnancy. The hormones in investigation were progesterone, estrogen, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), gonadotropin releasing …

An aneurysm occurs when a bulge begins to develop in areas of the aorta or peripheral arteries that are not as strong. This causes that area to expand under the extreme pressure of blood flowing. Complications such as edema, nerve pain, possible uncontrolled bleeding and amputation can occur if not …
My steam project is based on the objective “identify carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids by their structure”. The research in my project focuses on the structure of unsaturated fatty acids, the role they play in the diet, and their usage in the body. In my project, I made a …
