My name is Sarah Langer, and I am an active student in my school. Last year i was on the Student Advisory Council, and this year I am on the yearbook committee. I also participated in fundraisers involving the gorilla conservation fund. I enjoy being able to help out in my school as well as my community. For as long as I have remembered, I have been interested in the mystery behind death. Whether it be the mummies of ancient civilizations or the recent mystery’s of our time. This high interest both inspired and motivated me to continue with my investigation into human decomposition. |
| Sarah Langer A Model for Human Decomposition in Fresh Water and Salt Water
Division: | Sciences physiques et des mathématiques / Innovation environnementale | Catégorie: | Sénior | Région: | Peterborough | Ville: | Buckhorn, ON | École: | Lakefield District Secondary & Intermediate | Sommaire: | The stages and sub-stages of pig tissue decomposition in an aquatic environment (fresh water and salt water) were investigated with a goal of modeling human decomposition in an aquatic environment. The model developed shows the same stages and sub-stages of decomposition with a delay in salt water decomposition. Bacteria, pH, and mass/volume ratio in the process of decomposition were also studied. |
