Octet Rule of Penicillin Mechanism in Peptidoglycan of Bacterial Cell Wall Structure and Function
Octet Rule of Penicillin Mechanism in Peptidoglycan of Bacterial Cell Wall Structure and Function The STEAM project chosen is knowing the octet rule for bonds. The octet rule states that the majority of elements of the periodic table are stable at and therefore favor completing their valence to a solid …
How Cells Change in Lungs to Cause Brain Metastases
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. …
MS and the Myelin Sheath
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. …
Multiple Sclerosis
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 …
Reconstruction of the Calcaneus Bone
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.
Breast Cancer Development
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 …
Kyphosis and Kyphoplasty (Flipbook)
I wrote my project on kyphosis and the surgical procedure to correct it: kyphoplasty. This is a subject that is very dear to me as my dad often did this procedure to help people. In short, kyphosis is when a vertebrae collapses (thus causing the patient to have a “hunchback”) …
COVID-19
For my STEAM project I made a short film depicting the virus COVID 19 and tried to show the basics of how it enters cells and infiltrates the body. The main “characters” are the COVID-19 virus, and the killer T white blood cells that combat it, in addition to some …
Proteins, what are they good for? Absolutely everything.
I wrote my project on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy also known as DMD. This subject is near to me as both of my boys have DMD. This project is about how one little protein can cause all sort of havoc in the body.
