Jumping Bean Experiment Lab Report

Abstract: This experiment will determine if jumping beans are alive. We tested two groups. Group A and B. We put them in two different areas. Three beans were put in a lit area and three were put in a shaded area. It was found that if the depending on how lit the area is the more movement we saw from the jumping bean. Therefore it can be said that jumping beans are alive and respond to stimuli.

Introduction: This Experiment “ Mexican Jumping Beans” focuses on how jumping beans respond to different conditions. The thing that makes these beans jump is a tiny moth larvae that lives inside the bean. The moth lays its eggs in the flower of the plant, and the eggs are incorporated into the seeds. The larvae then eat out the interior of the bean
