Zoology
Objectives/Goals This experiment was designed to test the most effective measures to parthenogenically activate sea urchin eggs of the purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus Purpuratus). The…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals My project was to determine what factors affected the retinal glare recovery test. This test glares the retina with a bright light and measures the retina's ability to recov…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals My objective for my project was to find out if more cats are right-pawed, left-pawed, or ambidextrous. Methods/Materials Materials: 5 cats, Narrow cats, cat food, pencil, pa…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals This is a continuation of last year#s project. Last year I compared the prevalence of roundworms and hookworms in shelter puppies, dogs residing in an animal shelter, and co…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals The purpose of my experiment was to find out if bacteria samples from land fowl or water fowl would produce the most bacterial growth. Methods/Materials To conduct my experi…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals I INVESTIGATED THREE MAIN HYPOTHESES IN MY EXPERIMENT: HYPOTHESIS (1): A 90 DEG FULL BODY INVERSION WITH HEAD DOWN TILT WILL GIVE A SIMILAR DIASTOLIC (DBP) AND HEART RATE (H…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals I wanted to know if the temperature of ingested fluids affects orally measured body temperature in humans. I believed it would affect basal body temperature because when peo…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals The aim of this experiment was to determine the effect of light and diet on the growth of purple-striped jellies (Chrysaora colorata). Compared to other sea jelly species, t…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals The Olympia Oyster (Ostrea conchaphila) is the only native oyster on the California coast. Once highly abundant, populations declined due to over-harvesting and habitat loss…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals I tested to see whether pupil dilation would increase or decrease peripheral vision. I felt that when the pupil constricts due to light exposure, some of the photoreceptors…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this project is to investigate the relationship between blood glucose and diet in non-diabetic humans. It is believed that after one consumes a high carbohydr…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals the effects on the flow rate, as a representation of stroke volume and cardiac output, and pressure on a model heart with progressive atherosclerosis in comparison to that o…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals Elevated stream temperatures and low dissolved oxygen are two components which are detrimental to salmonids. Ground water is generally cool enough to be considered thermal r…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals This is the 4th year of a study on the introduced mantid species Iris oratoria, the Mediterranean Mantid. Babies hatching from an isolated female indicate previously undocum…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals To determine if different types of gum has an effect on the temperature of a person's mouth. I believe that chewing different types of gum will increase the temperature of a…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective to this project is to find whether or not an ultra violet light will effect the strength of hair strands. Methods/Materials The materials required for this exp…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals On pilings under Stearns Wharf and Goleta Pier, I always noticed that mussel beds were out of water for a long time at low tide and that very few mussels were lower. My goal…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals My project was to determine what angle of impact has the most effect on making a bruise. I believe a direct hit has the greatest impact to the skin test models. Methods/Mate…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals My goal was to see if dissolved oxygen levels affect Viviparis malleatus (trapdoor snail) behavior. From the Year One Study (2003-2004), I learned that trapdoor snails do di…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals Since I was young, I had fun looking and observing the ants. In my backyard, I had an anthole, and as I observed it, I found it very interesting how ants get food. I wondere…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals The goal of this project is to determine if the common barn owl eats more juvenile prey than adult prey by dissecting and analyzing 140 owl pellets over a nine-month time sp…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals It is said that a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human mouth, so I wanted to see if the theory was true. Even though humans brush their teeth, there are still a lot of food p…
