The Research Project


Research Theme:  Good Nutrition makes healthier bones. Healthy bones have less disease.
(Learn the words in bold.)


-- Healthy, calcium-rich foods are good for bone health.
-- Calcium consumption and weight bearing physical activity build strong bones, optimize bone mass, and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life.
-- Food is digested and absorbed through the intestinal villi into bloodstream.
-- Nutrients and minerals travel through the bloodstream to the bones.
-- Nutrients and minerals are absorbed into bones.
-- Healthy and strong bones break less often.
-- There are many types of bone breaks.
-- If a bone breaks, there are many ways to heal the break. 
-- Bone foam (links below) is one way biomedical engineering has assisted bone repair.
-- Biomedical engineering has improved the medical community's ability to repair bone injuries, but bone proper bone health is the best prevention of bone disease.

The Research Project -- Song

Two songs will be written. We will break into two groups and write the songs. All students must learn both songs. Then, the coaches will break the larger group into two smaller teams. At the competition each smaller team will preform a different song.

Song 1: (To the tun of Dynamite!)
Note: the original song has minimal inappropriate language. It is hard to find a pop song nowadays without this. I've included three links of the instrumental version. Feel free to learn the piano version!

Song 2: (To the tune of DJ Got Us Falling in Love)
Note: the original song has minimal inappropriate language. It is hard to find a pop song nowadays without this. I've included two links of the instrumental version. Feel free to learn the piano version!
