Exam Announcement for the position
The Aquaponics student leaders have been meeting weekly to research, discuss, and plan their first aquaponics system. With the guidance of Professor Catanese, the research on Aquaponics and how to build a successful system has been completely student-driven and self-taught.
The scientifici process is brought up and used regularly in pretty much every science course on campus. It can be googled, read about in a text book, and observed repeatedly from scientists. However, for students in some sections of Biology 1A (Evolution, Diversity and Ecology), the process is being taught differently: this time they are learning it through plants.
Using a problem based learning approach, Professor Erika Catanese, has put students together in teams to learn the scientific process through the investigation of abiotic factors impacts on plant growth. The teams of students developed hypotheses about what affects plant growth and then designed experiments to check their hypotheses and test variables such as light, soils, nutrients, and solutions. They started plants from seed and will be monitoring their growth over the semester, while collecting data such as plant height, and stem and leaf width. Ultimately, they will sacrifice their plants to take wet and dry biomass. At the end of the semester, students will apply some basic statistics, draw conclusions from their results, and create poster presentations of their findings. Until then, you can watch the plants as they transform outside the Bio Studio (SV32) in Science Village.
The STEM center is quickly becoming a place to “figure it out”. Multiple tutoring sessions a day are paying off as students are given the space and time to work with their peers and make sure they understand the latest concepts being introduced in their STEM classes.

This week the city of Goleta announced that a California sycamore tree growing near a creek and on closed land slated to be a park is a national champion, a classification given by a Washington D.C.-based nonprofit conservation group to the biggest trees found across the country.
