Research Experiences for Teachers at UC Santa Barbara - Weeks 3-4: Studying methane pyrolysis with different experiments. It is a technically challenging experience. FTIR is used to measure the amount/concentration of gaseous species (by-products) during methane pyrolysis.

What do you notice? Is there anything that is surprising? A California sea hare (Aplysia californica) feeds on algae. What shapes or structures do you observe? How might this animal's body structures help it to survive in its environment? - tide pools - Corona del Mar, CA

What do you notice? What do you wonder? Why is it rare that we see this type of fish? Can deep sea fish live in shallow water? What function(s) do you think the pole-like protrusion serves? How does the structure develop? How does it work? What structures are you curious about?

Sharing experiences with local places opens up meaningful connections and discussions. How has this place changed over time? What have you noticed during your time here? What is a Marine Protected Area? Why are marine environments important?
