The experiment we propose is to study the growth of Balcer's Yeast or S. cerevisiae in a microgravity (OG) environment. Co-Investigators: Khalim Dyer, Ashley Singh, and Khalil Hamilton. In orbit ampoule A will be cracked and mixed to oxygenate the saline solution, then ampoule B will be cracked open and the food and shrimp will mix with the solution. Further understanding of improved bioscaffolding in microgravity with the addition of growth factor to increase rate of growth lays the ground work for the eventual growth of replacement tissue, joints, and even organs that is not currently possible in normal gravity. Teacher Facilitator: Alison Buescher, Science Educator. There are two types of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes, which has no insulin being produced by the pancreas. Colby and jaquan are growing bacteria in an experiment in a laboratory. Our project proposal revolves around one central concept: What effect does microgravity have on synthetic blood? Each Step 1 Review Board selected up to three finalist proposals, which were submitted to the National SSEP Step 2 Review Board. We are hoping that if fish eggs can hatch in these conditions, it is possible that the eggs of endangered aquatic life can be brought into space to be grown and then the adult fish can be released into their natural environment where they will be less vulnerable then they would be if they were still in egg form. With the future of space exploration focused on colonization of other planets, it's important to know how disease-causing bacteria will act in different gravity. Houston, Texas – Johnston Middle School.
This experiment will give an idea of how fruit will rot in space and could lead to other investigations into how other fresh foods respond to microgravity. Insulin's Molecular Structure in Microgravity. Of those, 382 proposals were put forward for review by Step 1 Review Boards in each of the communities. It could strengthen buildings from earthquakes, causing less damage to cities, and possible stop much of the fatalities that occur from falling debris. Teacher Facilitator: Anthonette Peña, Science Teacher. Afterwards, careful examinations will take place to define any changes in the mycelium's structure (this involves an electron microscope), using the second strain as a ground truth. Colby and jaquan are growing bacterial vaginosis. I don;t know what the question is but I know that z is an imaginary number. Teacher Facilitators: Lanena Berry and Nicole Diluglio, AVID and IPC. Teacher Facilitators: Lara North and Romulo Gabriel, Science Teachers. Grades 8 and 12; Annie Fisher STEM Magnet School and University High School of Science and Engineering. Principal Investigator: Aunjanee Cooper.
On Earth the gene once inserted into bacterial DNA causes bacteria such as to glow in the presence of arabinose and grow in the presence of ampicillin. We hope to answer these questions by studying microgravity's effect on the growth rate of Staphylococcus epidermidis. E. coli is a nonpathogenic bacteria and will be use to test the effectiveness of antibiotics in microgravity.
Determining how bacteria grow in each environment may acutally help us to determine the possiblity of life in outer space. Affect of Microgravity on Helicobacter pylori. Effect of Arthrobacter on Polyethylene Decomposition Rate in Microgravity. During the duration of the month in space and on earth, we will take notes on the appearance of the bread and the lettuce. When the experiment reaches the ground it will be taken to University of Houston's lab where it will be analyzed; by being put under a scanning electron microscope I will be able to see if the molecular structure is different from the experiment that was conducted on the Earth. The purpose of this experiment is to explore how microgravity affects the rate of mold. Teacher Facilitators: Keith Sevigny, Science Teacher, and Dr. Colby and jaquan are growing bacteria like e. Michael Fromerth, Science Teacher. For example, 5i is an imaginary number, and its square is −25. By growing two samples of P. aeruginosa, one in space and one under the influence of gravity, and submitting both to various antibiotics, we are able to measure the antibacterial resistance of both cultures. Cell division is an integral component of life; all organisms must go through the cell cycle in order to grow, develop, and reproduce. Fibroblast Division in Microgravity. Next, we will place one half in each FME. HONORABLE MENTION FINALIST: Effects of Microgravity on Preserved Whole Blood Coagulation. Waiting for answer This question has not been answered yet.
The process of coagulation in space is slowed by "in vivo" factors. Teacher Facilitator: Vicki Witkowski, 4/5 Science Teacher. Introducing the brine shrimp to the saline solution will trigger hatching. Feedback from students. For our project we will be sending Rainbow Trout fish eggs into micro-gravity. The first strain will be the wild-type C. elegans strain.
If we cannot find a way to preserve bone density, the astronauts will lose over one half of their bone density on a long term mission. Collaborators: Ameer Rifai, Jenna Rifai, and Rehan Uribe. We are also experimenting on the rusting of iron in space. SSEP National Blog post. We want to specifically test on animal cells. Teacher Facilitator: Sara Timmer, B. Does the answer help you? Principal Investigator: Amalia Arceo-Hosken.
