This year in science we will learn an introduction to biology. We will learn about microbiology, genetics, earth and life history, evolution, ecology, light, experimental design, and human anatomy. Some highlights include visiting Hollister Ranch Tidepools, Arroyo Hondo Preserve, and UCSB REEF touch tanks. We will perform experiments such as fertilizing sea urchin eggs and watching as the cell undergoes cell division. We will perform several dissections including a pig heart, sheep brain, cow eye and chicken wings.
