I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Organs Zone. It has scientists studying health and disease in various parts of our bodies. Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
Hi pommypomtom,
Interesting question- Not sure anyone has studied the elastic/structural properties of the small intestine to make a skipping rope – it is long though about 7 meters in humans and up to 40 meters in cattle.
It is well know that the animals intestine have been made into catgut (short for cattle gut!) – a type of fiber made from the wall of sheep small intestine and made into strings for musical instruments!
Theoretically it is possible to make small intestine into a long rope.
