Schrödinger's Cat: Possible Experiment

So lately, I have been trying to think if ways to simplify my project so that everyone is able to understand what my project is about. Obviously since this is quantum physics, this idea of "simplification" will be very difficult to create. However, I have researched an experiment that may be able to show the idea of the uncertainty principle. This experiment was founded by a man by the name of Erwin Schrödinger.  This man had a brilliant way to express how a particle is in a form of all states until it is observed.  How did he do it? Well, his idea required a couple if items that included: a cat, a flask of poison, a radioactive source, an radioactivity detector, and a box. The way the experiment worked is that you would place the cat, flask, and radio active source in a sealed box with the detector on the side. Whenever a particle would decay (which occurs due to radioactivity), the dectector would respond by breaking the flask of poison, which in turn would kill the cat. The true reason for the experiment occurs outside the box, because you wouldn't know whether the cat was dead or alive until you opened the box. This is what the uncertainty principle is. The particle (the cat) is theoretically in all states (dead or alive) until it is observed by others. I feel that I could recreate this idea with the exception if a dead cat and radioactivity. I'm not sure what I will do yet but I have a couple of ideas. Until next blog, I will talk to you guys then.
