Victoria Messina '29
I researched broken bones heals using three different types of cells, each with their own unique task. While doing my research, I realized that the process of fractured bones healing is extremely fascinating. Depending on the location of the bone and the type of fracture, doctors will decide whether or not surgery or a cast is necessary, which led me to wonder what happens when neither surgery nor a cast is given to a patient. I continued to research further into this topic and then I began to formulate a plan for my product. I ultimately designed and created a stop motion short film using clay that animates the entire healing process of a broken bone. My animation lasts 1 minute and contains 292 photographs! My stop motion movie can be used to teach students in 6th grade life science classes about fractures, when they learn about the skeletal system. Over the course of 8 months, SEEK taught me how to take notes efficiently and how to manage my time wisely. |
