When scientist test a new radiation medicine on mice they are amazed to find that it worked. They put the mice to a heavy dose of radiation. After 24 hours they injected them with the antibiotic made naturally from the immune system.  After 30 days the mice who were not injected died and 80% of the  mice that were stayed healthy, and alive. Follow-ups have to made before humans can be treated, but versions of antibiotic and the protein have already been used on humans and looks promising. 
          When the body is exposed to intensive levels of radiation, the bone marrow is one of the first things to shut down.  It is where the while blood cells arise, so the body cant fight off infection any
more. Radiation can cause bactria that are usually confined to the gut to leak, in to the blood causing blood pressure to spike, fever, abnormal blood clotting and even organ failure.

A mummy from Roman times has been found about 200 miles from Cairo at Bahariya Oasis.  The female body was 3 feet tall and the mummy cover was decorated with pictures dress Roman style dress and jewelry.  The mummy was one of 14 tombs and there were also vessels, coins and masks found.  This site has been the location of a dig since 1996. The head of the dig said that the tomb and a special design with stairways and corridors.

The world’s Lightest Material is a metal that is 100 times lighter than Styrofoam.  The new material was created by Cal Tech researchers and is so light because of a “micro lattice structure”.  They made the material with 99.99 percent air and 0.01 solid at nanometer scales.  The lattice is 1,000 times thinner than human hair said the lead researcher.

The material is a metal and very strong.  Researchers think that the new material can be used for batteries or for shock absorption.  This super lightweight technology is because of nanotechnology.  Because it is both light and strong it could be used for large modern building to.

Evidence of a Chemical Reaction

When 91% alcohol is mixed with a bromine pool tablet. It is first shaken a little bit. After red liquid starts to appear from the bottom and starts to boil to a red liquid. After it dies back down to a yellow liquid and the bromine plate used up.

A piece of lithium was put into water. Aflame erupted and stopped. Smoke was released.

Cesium is added to water. Which produces a orange "firework".

 Potassium is added to water which creates a pink is flame that last a few seconds. It then burns out.

Sodium and potassium are added to water which create a huge explosion. That happens over and over again until its stops.

In this reaction a gummy bear is added to sodium chloride which produces a small flame, type thing at the bottom of the test tube  while the gummy bear is glowing red, it quickly expanded to the whole tube.

This experiment was my favorite. When food coloring, salt crystals, and the mineral turpentine wee added to water it created a blue glow just like a light bulb.

Lab

Title of the Lab: Where’s the Evidence

Investigation Question: What are some signs a chemical (change) or reaction has occurred?

Hypothesis: I think that the chemicals will either react by changing color, bubbling or exploding.

Materials:

-          Na2 CO3 – Sodium Carbonate

-          Ca Cl2 – Calcium Chloride

-          HCI – Hydrochloric Acid

-          Cu SO4 – Copper Sulfate (Acid)

-          Aluminum Foil

-          Zinc Piece

-          Baking Soda

-          Vinegar ( Acetic Acid)

-          Magnesium tablets

-          Spatula

-          Graduated Cylinder

-          Stirrer

-          Candle

-          Goggles

         - Beakers/ Baby Food Jars

Reactions	Observations Before Reaction	Predictions	Observations During Reactions	Observations After Reaction
Baking Soda (soda bicar bonate) + vinegar	-          White powder -          Clear liquid	-          Will fizzle	The more baking soda added the more it bubbled	Slowly dies down to a bubbly liquid
Sugar + Heat
Copper Sulfate + Sodium Carbonate Solution	-          Blue liquid -          Clear liquid	-          Will change color	Smokey aqua blue liquid	The blue separates to form a clear liquid underneath
Zinc Piece + HCI	-Silver, grey medalish -          Clear liquid	-          Will bubble -          Change color	Color is burning off, making milky white liquid	Changed color to black, with pieces of zinc burning off
Calcium Chloride + Sodium Carbonate	-          2 clear liquids	-          Will bubble	Turns a milky white	Milky white liquid settles to the bottom
Copper Sulfate + aluminum foil piece	-          Shiny foil -          Blue liquid	-          Will burn or change color	Stayed afloat	Turns a copper- red and liquid turns clear

Conclusion:  My hypothesis was correct. Every experiment bubbled, changed color, or burned/ exploded. If a substance would keep bubbling or keep burning it would mean it is trying to change. For example, when copper sulfate has an aluminum piece in it I can change color for days. When a reaction came to a change it would mean that all its energy was gone and it could no longer react.

Further Inquiry: I think that this would be better if we measured out everything we added to make a clearer result. 

Fruit Fly Intestine May Hold Secret to Fountain of Youth: Long-Lived Fruit Flies Offer Clues to Slowing Human Aging and Fighting Disease

Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and their collaborators found that tweaking a gene known as PGC-1, which is also found in human DNA, in the intestinal stem cells of fruit flies delayed the aging of their intestine and extended their lifespan by as much as 50 percent.
 "There is a tremendous amount of similarity between a human small intestine and the fruit fly intestine."
The findings of the study, which was a collaboration between researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the University of California, Los Angeles, were published online in Cell Metabolism.
Scientists have long known that calorie restriction, the practice of limiting daily food intake, can extend the healthy lifespan of a range of animals. In some studies, animals on restricted diets lived more than twice as long on average as those on non-restricted diets.
