Isabella Navarro STEAM Project
For this project I chose to further my research about the skeletal system, specifically comparing the 4 types of bone shapes. There are 4 types of bone shapes. Long bone which has a long thin shape, short bone which has a squat cubed shape, flat bone which has a flattened …
Monique’s steam
For my project, I decided to make a children’s book. My topic and objective cover’s the integumentary system. I did an example from when I was a kid and almost got frostbite.
Mitochondria and Disease
My project will focus on the objective, “compare and contrast the different organelles and their functions”. My primary focus will be on the mitochondria. Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles that generate most of the energy needed to power biochemical reactions. They are the “powerhouse” of a cell. Mitochondria are …
Bone Repair, Healing and processes involved; Children vs. Adults
Bone Repair, Healing and processes involved; Children vs. Adults. For my steam project, I decided to research the healing process of bone, in children versus adults. When I was growing up, my mom would always tell me, “you’re young, you will heal fast” whenever I got hurt. I never really …
Positive Feedback Loop System Used During Labor.
Positive Feedback Loop System Used During Labor. Homeostasis is the steady state of the body systems that living organisms maintain. Maintaining homeostasis requires that the body continuously monitors its internal conditions. From body temperature to blood pressure to levels of certain nutrients, each physiological condition has a particular set point. …
Cesarean Sections
The objective I chose for this STEAM project is “Explain common disorders during pregnancy and their cause.” I wanted to learn more about cesarean sections and why people get these surgeries. We talked a bit about pregnancy but nothing about cesarean sections, also known as c-sections. As I researched c-sections …
Mitochondria and Autism Spectrum Disorder
The objective that I chose to explore is “compare and contrast the organelles and their functions”. We’ve learned a tiny bit about mitochondria in this class. Basically, these kidney-shaped microscopic organelles are the “energy transformers” of our cells. More specifically, they turn stored energy into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the …
The Healing process of the Compound Fracture with Metal Plates
The objective of this project I am covering is to classify certain fractures; specifically the compound fracture. I will also talk about the healing process of the bone based on the specific types of metals being used to fix the bone. There are many common types of fractures: compressed, spiral, …
The Effects of Growing Pains
I am covering the objective of how the interactions of muscles with the skeletal systems relate. I am also going to explain the physical effects on the child. My medium is a leg muscle. The leg muscles will demonstrate as a location director of where the child feels most pain. …
