After about a month and a half the eggs hatch, but stay in the pouch for another two months. When they leave the pouch it takes another ten months for the bug to fully develop. A variety of food will satisfy the pill bug. They prefer rotting plants, especially vegetables. They will also eat grass clippings, mulch, foliage, stems, roots, and seedlings.
I suggest using more pill bugs than we used maybe use around 10 pill bugs to come up with more accurate data. This information could be useful to society by understanding why some insects run away when we gently touch them. Or when you drop water on them they immediately go in the other
labatory #4 | Pill Bug Behavior Lab | BIO 101 | | Jordan Deskins (partners with Adryan Cheeseboro) | 10/30/2014 | Objectives: * Conduct experiments examining the responses of Armadillidiiade (“sow bugs ”) to the environmental factor of texture * Design and conduct an investigation of animal behavior * Develop basic experimental design skills For this experiment we want to determine if “sow bugs” gravitate more towards a rough or soft texture when place into a choice chamber. Pill bug research: Pill bugs are crustaceans, and not insects; they’re related to organisms such as lobsters, and breathe through gills. They also have five sections of hard exoskeleton. Other characteristics of the pill bug are that they
Intervening variable used in the book are classified into independent and dependent variables. Independent variables are those manipulated by the experimenter. For ex- ample, not allowing rats to have any water for several hours would create an independent variable called hours of deprivation. Dependent variables are those observed by the ex- perimenter. For example, one could observe how much water a rat drinks.
In fact only 1% of bacteria are harmful. Viruses can only grow inside the cells of living organisms. They are not living in their own and in that way are different to bacteria, parasites and fungi. All living organisms can contract viruses: humans, plants, fish and animals. Viruses are spread from host to host.
The urinalysis test that was being used by Jamie and Adam detects codeine levels between 300 to 1200 nanograms. Both heroin and poppy seeds break down into codeine and morphine. This results in the false positive found on the urinalysis. However, when Jamie and Adam called five representatives of the drug testing companies only one admitted to even knowing what a false positive test result meant. These results show that falsely testing positive on a drug screen after ingesting poppy seeds is not a myth but rather a truth.
The authors used the same two people as bounce counters throughout the experiment to maintain consistency. Six drops from five different heights, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 meters gave them the data they needed to make their conclusion. The authors found that the number of ball bounces did increase up to the two-meter mark and then actually decreased from the two to three-meter mark. The authors’ conclusion in their own words, “We hypothesized that a ball would bounce more frequently when released from a greater height, and while our experiment showed this to be true of drops between 1 and 2 meters, dropping a ball from any height greater than 2 meters actually reduces the number of times the ball bounces.” (S. Kubrick, P. Sellers, G.C.
After those five experimental days, the mice were given a non- stressed probe trial in which the escape box was removed from the Barners Maze, and the maze was split up into quadrants. The amount of time the mice spent in the home quadrant during the one minute trial was timed. The researcher used three different types of graphs and two different types of tests. He used t-test to compare how much time each mouse spent in the target quadrant zone over one minute in the Barnes Maze, and his results were no significant. The other test was one way ANOVA, the aim of this test was to see the number of times the
I left a job in Human Resources at a Fortune 500 company to become a teacher. Some days, I do question my sanity. But, most of the time, I just have to think about how useless and uninspired I felt behind that desk, staring at a boring spreadsheet, and I can remember why I teach. I teach in order to make a difference for children and to share myself with the world. Keep your reasons for teaching close to your heart and you'll realize that all of the stress really can be worth
It was very plain and simple. Students get real use to think technique because throughout high school it was so repetitive and we all got very comfortable with it. Although the 5 paragraph format limits our ideas and we don’t get to expand on our topics because we are so stuck on the 3 ideas and we just to those instead of expanding our thinking. By limiting the amount of ideas we chose we think we are choosing the 3 main points but there could be a possibility that the other ideas were just as important but we don’t have enough room for them. It did help us stay on track and to consistently talk about the topic instead of rambling off about irrelevant ideas.
