You are having to do a project on this subject in middle school? Wow, I'm a Junior in college and I don't have to do anything like that. (And Im in the medical field) But yes, the best way to approach a project like that is to pick a case like the famous Abbigail and Brittany Hensel case "one body two heads" and just try to show how their lives are different. and even though thy are conjoined they are acually 2 people. You could show an immage. Take it in steps, it will make this seem easier.
1.) find a case
2.) read on the case
3.)figure out where they are attached
4.) were they separated? *if so how, if not why not*
5.)how are their lives lived?
6.) how many births are conjoined? *how many live*
7.) make graphs supporting 1-6
8.) show where you got all of your information from
if you follow this you will have a kick *** project.
i'm giving you 3 websites, the last two are medical journals which will be really good to help you with this...the first one talks about the abby and brit. case! good luck!!
remember to break it down.
kick some *** honey!

There is an extremely rare form of identical twins that occurs perhaps in one out of every 75,000 to 100,000 births or 1 in 200 deliveries of identical twins, that of conjoined twins.
Conjoined twins originate from a single fertilized egg so they are always identical and same-sex twins. The developing embryo starts to split into identical twins within the first two weeks after conception but then stops before completion, leaving a partially separated egg which continues to mature into a conjoined fetus.

One of U.S.'s oldest surviving non-separated conjoined twins
Do a report on them

Do a study of how conjoined twins have the same DNA but still have different fingerprints

You could "join" two of your average friends together (with a belt or rope) and then have your viewers ask them to do tasks which they feel would be difficult. Things they could do in front of them and on the spot. Like peel a potato or just walk. Meanwhile you could look up info about conjoined twins and show/lists thangs they learned to do. It would be interesting. I'd go see it!

Get a set and separate them at the fair. If they live you will get an A+

you could introduce one twin to smoking, and keep the other one a non smoker, and observe the difference in health throughout their life.
