Sowbug Experiment Introduction A sowbug is an isopod that belongs to the Classic Crustacea family. They live in damp, wet, dark environments and are commonly nocturnal. They are mostly found under rocks, rotting tree bark, or logs in moist, dark areas outside. Through the observational study I observed that the sowbugs most often moved towards the edges and buried themselves, they moved quickly, and they mostly stayed and/or ended up on the damp-dark soil rather than the dry-light sand. Based…

There are several reasons to have a shingle roof replacement. One reason is one or several of the asphalt shingles are damaged because of a storm or high wind or aging. This type of shingle roof replacement is not replacing the entire roof but a small portion of it. The other reason for a shingle roof replacement is when the roof has aged and is no longer a functioning roof. In this case, the entire roof will have to be replaced. Asphalt is not the only material a roof shingle is made from.…

Santa Barbara’s Coastal Watershed divides into six sites: Carpinteria, Rocky Nook Park, Mission C, Maria Ygnacio, Atascadero and San Jose. All the sites are managed by a levee system, and half of these sites are empty; no water flows through them because it doesn’t rain frequently in Santa Barbara (typically only raining between 3-6 inches during the wet months, which is between November-March), but all empty at the Pacific Ocean, which is relatively close to the city (t-cep.org/floods).…

Gilliam et al. (1985) suggested that yeasts might play a role in metabolic conversion or preservation of food. Apparently, some genera of yeasts have been isolated from the stingless bee hive. There are two yeasts genera that frequently isolated from pollen and honey of stingless bee hive, which includes Candida and Starmerella (Rosa et al., 2003; Teixeira et al., 2003; Daniel et al., 2013). Rosa et al. (2003) also reported that other genera of yeasts have been found in propolis, adult bees, the…
