Ciencias

This week we tested how our isopods and beetles reacted to light.  We conducted an experiment covering part of their runways and then recorded their locations after 10 minutes and again after an hour.

Students designed their own animal investigations using the runways. We went out and collected additional materials for this. Some environmental factors that could be tested in the runways are:

  • Things to hide under at one end of the runway.
  • Put leaves, grass, or twigs at one end of the erunway to find out food or shelter preference.
  • Temperature (hot side vs. cold side)
