SCIENCE Antibiotics: One Innovation that CHANGED THE WORLD! By: Brianna Gangjii 7th grade Lake Orion Schools Some innovations have definitely been a breakthrough in the medical industry. Perhaps a giant step in the field of medicine, antibiotics saved millions of lives by killing and preventing the growth of harmful bacteria. Scientists like Louis Pasteur and Joseph Lister were the first to recognize and attempt to combat bacteria, but it was Alexander Fleming who made the first jump in antibiotics, when he accidentally discovered the bacteria-inhibiting mold, known as penicillin, in 1928. Antibiotics proved to be a major improvement in antiseptics—which killed human cells along with bacteria—and their use spread rapidly throughout the 20th century. Nowhere was their effect more obvious than on the battlefield: While nearly 20 percent of soldiers who contracted bacterial pneumonia died in World War I, with antibiotics that number dropped to only 1 percent during World War II. Antibiotics have gone on to fight nearly every known form of infection, including simple ear infection, influenza, malaria, meningitis, tuberculosis, and most transmitted diseases. After a lot of use, however, many people have been developing immunity toward antibiotics, which means the antibiotic is not effective any longer. Now there are more research and discoveries at work to make sure scientists can still be able to have a catalyst to stop deadly diseases. The Clarkston Haunted House Design Challenge By Kylie Kalinowski, 10th Grade Clarkston Schools In a small section of Sashabaw Middle School’s hallways, utilizing Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM), students from sixth to twelfth grades will use their imagination and creative thinking to design a haunted house. At the final public showing of the hallways, students will perform as actors, completely outfitted in frightening costumes, to show off their talents in haunted house magic, full with realistic props, scary sound effects, and much more! There will be many notorious giants of the haunted world helping out with the project, including the infamous Edward Terebus - the man who co-created the world renowned haunted house Erebus. Also attending are members of professional makeup companies and of the Society of Women Engineers, who are helping create animated props. There is a lot of learning that comes from hands-on experience while creating many elements of an incredible haunted house: the engineering behind drop panels, the scientific research behind the creation of realistic monster makeup, and the chemistry that goes into rolling fog machines. To acquire the skills, students will be learning from professionals after school one day a week, in seminars with handson projects. This is an incredible opportunity to learn the essence of teamwork, to discover a whole new world of STEM, and to apply science and technology to an exciting common goal. 12 www.KidsStandard.org Publication INC.
ARTS AND SCIENCE Power of Classical Music By: Zoe Patterson 9th grade Rochester Schools Music is part of my life! It’s not because I will choose music for my future studies or career. It’s because music is part of who I am. Music has many benefits. It has been known to increase creativity. Children, who had more than 3 years of training with classical musical instruments, often have high selfesteem and perform well in innovative activities. Playing an instrument teaches how to coordinate with others. Many times you have to adjust the high or loud sound, especially in a group. Discipline is another benefit of playing an instrument. Being good at anything requires practice, but to become great at it, we need more and more practice. That is when we also learn about priorities and making right choices: to watch TV or tweet or to practice to be great at cello. Sometimes I think I am slow to become great at things. It takes me a long time to get good at a lot of activities while many of my peers catch on immediately. But when I play cello, I am in a different world. My imagination rises high with inner satisfaction. After having played cello for 6 years, I am now comfortable with writing my own music. Classical music gave me the spark to express who I am through my own music. FREE * Music Lesson! *New Student Promo. Limited Time Offer.
