  1. Oh yeah I think I can pull it off...I have 2 reaserchers at an infectious who kindly accepted to help me. One is specialist in the bacterial resistance and can help me with that and the second one is a phage specialist who can give me and help me with the phages... So I think I'm good. Any other comments?
  2. I don't know what antibiotic to use yet...It's all gonna depend on the bacteria...(If that is what you're suggesting...) Sorry, I don't know much about that stuff yet..I'm currently reading about bacteria and antibiotics and all. I'm in Grade 10 btw. I just want to know if this would make an interesting project for a science fair...
  3. Hi, I've found a science fair project and already have someone to help me (for the material and all) at the University and I just wanted to ask you guys what you think of the experiment: Trying Bacteriophages on antibiotic resistant bacteria to see if phages could be used as an alternative to antibiotics. I'd have two parts in my experiment: "trigger" the antibiotic resistance of that bacteria (don't know which one yet), then I'll try the phages on them (on the resistant ones). I'll also have an explanation part where I just talk about what happens and all... So what do you think?

    Isotopes?

    Isotopes are the same atoms except that they have additional neurtrons (For example Carbon 13, and 14). What diffrence can that make?
  5. Is there a neurologic disease where the person claims to see a dead parent or close friend?
  6. Hi, We've got this project in science class where we have to make these cards about periodic table of elements and I am doing the part - or the how-to - find out about the structre of atoms out of the periodic table of elements. Now, since these are cards, it needs to be kept simple, but as complete as possible (with images and all)...My question simply is, what is the step-by-step procedure (like, what to look at first), to tell the maximum about the atom's structre on any element of the table. Thanks in advance.
  7. Ok then... What is the problem with Rutherford's model of the atom? Why did Bohr present something new?
  8. So then, what is the problem with that theory? And yeah... Electrons are always in orbit around the nucleus just like a fan around its center...So there's never any empty space.
  9. Hello everyone, Today in class, we learned about the Rutherford experiment. Ernest Rutherford is the one discovered the nucleus of the atom with his experiment. What he did was that he "fired" alpha particles coming from a radioactive source through a gold plate - or whatever it was - observing that they could go through but that 1 out of 100 000 is deflected because of a collision with the nucleus. (correct me if I'm wrong) Now my question is... Alpha particles are positively charged and so the electrons in the gold plate should not let them through since they're attracted to them... What happened is exactly the opposite of that...The electrons made way for the alpha particles..(as we can see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rutherford_gold_foil_experiment_results.svg) Now I'm totally confused... This isn't working at all! And also, what improvements did Bohr and Schrödinger do to the Rutheford theory?
  10. Most dengerous and interesting: Staphylococci, Streptococci, E. coli, Pseudomonas, Proteus, Salmonella, Shigella, Serratia, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Campylobacter, Yersinia and Brucella.
  11. Thanks you for your reply. This is a good idea but I think it is a little bit too easy...Wouldn't you know some other bacteria that sometimes resists to antibacteria and that could be killed by phages? These are the things that could captivate judges as well as visitors...Something promising... Acne has already tons of remedies so...
  12. Hello I'm in Grade 10 and I'm thinking about my science fair project. I just learned about phage therapy, which could be promising because all bacteria have a certain resistance to antibiotics (right?). So I was wondering if I could do such thing (considering that I can get a proffessor to help me) at my level. And then, another problem, what kind of experiment could be done? Something that could be interesting for a science fair.... Thanks in advance.

  14. This is very interesting... So it is possible that in a few years people won't use certain antibacterias anymore because of that resistance? How could that be showed in a lab experiment? And how can we check that they are effective in a lab anyway? Thanks in advance.
  15. Yeah good point...It wont be easy for me to see if it got better... Guess Im gonna have to find another subject...
  16. So its not legal to do such an experiment??
  17. Ive heard that a - or several - bee stings could cure rheumatism and osteoarthritis. Is it possibe? If yes, could it be the venoms composition or what? Anyhow, Im posting this thread in the experiment section because I thought this could be a good experiment for maybe next years science-fair but Im wondering how I could do such an experiment. Is it possible on rats? I dont know much on reasearch and experimentation stuff. The way it works for example... With what material you can do that and all... and that is why Im asking... Thanks in advance.
  18. Yeah, obviously a temporary change... So does that enzyme really exist?
  19. Is it true that anger secrets an enzyme that considerably reduces IQ? If yes, what's the enzyme called?
  20. C'mon anyone?!! Do you guys know some "anti-obesity" drug that I could try to see if it really works... (even if there isnt anything out yet, is there anything that could do that?)...
  21. I'm looking for my next year's science-fair project and I thought about obesity. In Canada 25% of the population is overweight and in the USA, even more. Only that I don't know what kind of research (or experiment) I could do? I'll probably get the help of a lab, or a reasearcher at the closest univesity, so I could maybe do something related with rats, or some lab... but what could there be done in the obesity domaine? I heard there could be medicine that helps...anyone knows more about that?
