Pill Bug Vs Rotten Meat
The results from our experiment does support our hypothesis. When comparing and viewing the data of the amount of pullets that were recording, pill bugs preferred rotten fruit to rotten meat. The accuracy of our data was based upon the amount of times the treatment was repeated and the amount of Pill bugs that died. Pill bugs cannot live in a cold environment because they will freeze. Due to the irregular climate in the North country, that would be a factor that could not have been controlled and would be one of the variables that caused the pill bugs to die. If this experiment was replicated, a controlled climate and a longer testing period would help produce more stable results.

    Pill Bug Science Project

    For this project I had observed the coolest bug balls on earth, the roly- poly. They are commonly known as the roly-poly, also pill bug, and wood lice. Its scientific name is Armadilidum vulgare. It is actually not an insect, it is an isopod ( a type of arthropod). It’s genus is Armadilidum, it’s Phylum is Arthopoda, and Subphylum is Crustacea. I have observed that the exoskeleton is a blue-gray, it is an invertebrate, it’s mouth, antennae and eyes are located on it’s head, and it rolls into a perfect sphere as defense when being disturbed or threatened. It has 2 pairs of antennae (one barely visible), it has 2 eyes, it has 7 pairs of jointed legs, and it’s about 3/8 inches long.…

    Observation: Your Neighbor Added a Farmer’s Porch to His House and Painted the Ceiling of It Blue. When You Asked Him Why, He Told You He Had Read That the Sky Blue Ceiling Would Fool Wasps Into Thinking It Was the Sky

    Controlled Experimental Method: I will use eight different colors of paint, and paint 3 ceiling tiles of each color. The colors will be white (control), red, orange, yellow, blue green, indigo and violet. I will place each tile in a separate box that is large enough for the wasps to nest. I will then expose mating wasps to each box for a 24-hour period. After 24 hours, I will record if any nests were made. I will then repeat this experiment 9 more times, with new mating wasps each time. After I collect the data, I will analyze it using a Tukey-Kramer test to see of the number of nests are significantly different by colored tile. I will also compare if blue had more or less wasp nests as compared to all the other colors and the…

    Unit 1 Lab 1

    The point of this experiment is to disprove the spontaneous generation of maggots on meat. Could flies be responsible for maggot formation? Hypothesis is that they are. So, the experiment is set up to see if no maggots, in fact, will form without flies. For the experiment, two clean jars are set out on a clean board. Then I put mean into both jars, closed one jar with a tight seal but left the other one open, exposed to air and flies for four days. In the process of four days, observing both jars, meat in both jars was rotting, flies visited the meat that wasn’t protected. At the end of 4 days, I learned that the jar that was closed and protected from flies didn’t have maggots, while the other one that was exposed to air and flies visited the meat - had maggots.…

    Pill Bugs

    The sow bug, also called the pill bug, is an isopod that does not have a wide range of items that it likes to eat. In the experiment we were trying to see how the pill bug reacted with certain man made substances and two substances that they would find in their everyday habitat. We tested ketchup, orange juice, sand, baking soda, flour and water. The pill bugs did not like the ketchup and orange juice I believe because of the strong acidic smell and it didn’t like the baking soda because of the texture. The pill bugs didn’t have a problem with the water and sand because those two are found in the everyday life. The data that we found did not fully support our hypothesis. The pill bugs are very simple isopods that reacted well with the sand because that substance is found in their habitat.…

    Pill Bugs Research Paper

    Not just in our experiment, but the overall object of this investigation was to find what type of environment did the bugs respond to. Our experiment was conducted to provide an answer to the question and not to give irrelevant numbers as our data. As we kept on putting different types of environments in the chamber, I realized that the damp soil was most likely going to be the one that the pill bugs responded most positively to, thus proving the fact that pill bugs like dark and damp environments as habitats. The way that my group analyzed the data was by simply placing the different types of environments that occur in nature, obviously in smaller amounts, and watched the pill bugs go to what they thought was an ideal habitat. To answer the question, there was simply no other way to collect data other than to observe how the pill bugs reacted to the different types of environments given. There was no need for calculations, so this was the only way to accomplish the goal of the lab:…

    Sow Bugs and Their Preference of Hickory Leaves

    Some background information on Sow bugs is that Sow bugs feed on decomposing organic material. Such as: mulch and grass clippings. The Sow bugs enjoy tender foliage, stems, along with roots of young garden vegetable transplants, seedlings, and bedding plants. A Sow bug’s diet also includes fungi, algae, moss, and bark. The hypothesis is: Sow bugs prefer the Hickory leaf. The prediction is: If Sow bugs prefer the Hickory leaves, then there will be a higher percent consumed value for the Hickory leaves when compared to the percent consumed values for the other three leaves. The reason for the hypothesis is that the Hickory seemed like it fits the Sow bugs diet better than the other three leaves involved in this experiment.…
