Oct. 14, 2006 – Get in the Swim! –  University of San Diego, Dr. Sue Lowery Did you know that fish show different swimming behaviors?  This workshop offers you the opportunity to study fish performance under a variety of different current speeds in a hydrodynamic flume (fish treadmill).  Learn how the fins and muscles power swimming by observing the fish and examining high speed video.  Fish dissections will show you how muscles are arranged to power both steady and sprint swimming. [Grades 10 –12] (Nov. 11 is Part II) — Slide Show #1 – Slideshow #2

Oct. 28, 2006 – Is physical science or engineering your thing? Come find out at our first ever BEWiSE Girls get Physical!  Use chemistry for crime scene investigating, locate an earthquake using a seismogram, investigate optics, get close and personal with a meteorite!  And much more!   (Hilde Van Den Bergh, etc., Miramar College)   [grades 9 and 10] – Slideshow

Nov. 11, 2006 – Get a behind the scenes tour of the aquaculture facility at Hubbs SeaWorld Research Institute and learn about the science of fish farming.  From egg to juvenile, what do different types of fish need to eat?  How do you keep the fish healthy and unstressed? If you make them exercise, will the fish grow faster? You will get to help with water quality monitoring tests, fish growth measurements, and use a microscope to view fish larvae or fish pathogens.  (This is Part II of the Oct. 14 workshop)  (Keri Maul, aquaculturalist & Sue Lowery)  [grades 10–12] – Slideshow
