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…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals The purpose of our experiment was to determine which types of non-toxic natural substances repel ants most efficiently without killing them. Our hypothesis was that substanc…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals My project was to determine if a horse's diet affects the amount of ammonia produced in their manure. I believe that, when boiled, the manure sample from a pregnant female h…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals Antlions are insect larvae whose pit traps for ants are noticeable in sandy areas. I studied several aspects of antlion natural history. The question my main study addresses…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals Pest control is a very serious problem in agriculture today. Farmers need pesticides to keep their crops from being damaged by insects, but over time, insects build immuniti…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals Problem Statement: Ants of the #SuperColony# are spread all over California. Is one colony of ants mainly aggressors? Do aggressors always win, if so how do they win their b…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals To explore the effects that different types and durations of exercise have on the production of CO(2) in humans. To demonstrate how when people exercise, they burn adenosine…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals My objective was to test whether snails prefer to eat annual plants more than perennial plants. I predicted that annual plants would be eaten more because annual plants may…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals My experiment was to find out if dogs can see color or not. Methods/Materials To test if my dog was color-blind, I first trained him to choose blue over yellow. I chose blue…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective of my project was to find out whether most dogs prefer to use their right or left paw more than the other. Methods/Materials Information was obtained from 217…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective was to see if a domestic dog pack's hierarchical behaviors were similar to those of wolves. Methods/Materials I observed seven domestic dogs on two acres of la…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals My goal is to see if there is any relationship between a cat's pH and a human's pH at different times of the day. I will measure the saliva pH of 3 human's and three cat's t…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals This project was to determine a convenient and accurate way to orally administer an anti-parasitic drug, Ivermectin, to pet rats in order to treat them for Fur Mites. Method…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals What type of sand do sand dollars like to live in? I am interested in fossils and I also always wondered what sand dollars really are. I always thought that they were just s…
