The Effects of Environmental Stimuli on Animal Behavior AP Biology Emily Olsen April 26‚ 2012 I. Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to test the effect certain stimuli has on the behavior of a terrestrial isopod. These bugs are more commonly known as pill bugs and potato bugs. The objective of this experiment is to determine which kinds of habitats potato bugs favor. Potato bugs have an innate behavior called taxis which will cause the animal to move away from a stimulus that is unwanted

Arlind Mara Paper Towel Lab Report AP Biology 15 September 2011 Which Towel is The Quicker-Picker Upper! To determine which of the most popular paper towel brands such as Bounty and Marcal would be the Quicker-Picker-Upper I conducted the following experiment during which I dipped 6in X 6in squares of paper towels into 100mL and measured the amount of water absorbed by the towels in 20 seconds. After averaging all 3 trials for the paper towel brands that I tested I arrived to the conclusion

The purpose of this lab was to determine if a there is a change in mass when a gas is produced and determine if gas has mass. To conduct this experiment‚ the group must be careful not to let the Alka-Seltzer tablet get wet before the bottle is closed by wiping the lip of the bottle and the cap so it remains dry‚ or risk gas escaping into the air and not being captured by the bottle. Also‚ the group must be sure to close the bottle tightly with the cap‚ because gas may escape this way as well. During

Introduction: Capture and recapture is a method to observe animals‚ give information on survival‚ recruitment‚ and size of the population. You capture the animals and mark them and release them. Mark and release repeatedly. Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to analyze the amount of marked beans of the beans we would catch. Hypothesis: If the number of marked beans represents the number of the mocking jays in the forest and the unmarked beans are the food supply then the mocking jays population

Objective: One objective was to figure out if the burnt Mg ashes weigh more than the product which is Magnesium Metal. Another objective was determining the formula of the compound that results when Magnesium and Oxygen react. Theory: The purpose of this lab was to confirm the chemical formula of magnesium oxide by comparing the masses of pure magnesium solid prior to any reaction and magnesium oxide solid after a reaction between all of the magnesium and oxygen from the air when heated from a Bunsen burner

tablets. In the experiment they first tested how long an Alka-Seltzer tablet would dissolve in cold water ( 9 degrees) then repeated it two more times in order to calculate a mean. Then using a hot plate to heat the water‚ they tested another tablet in the hot water (51 degrees) to see how long it would take to dissolve and again did it two more times to calculate a mean. Finally they tested another tablet in water left on the hot plate for thirty-seconds (81 degrees)‚ preformed the experiment for two more

Purpose: We are doing this experiment to find the best ratio of potassium nitrate to powdered sugar for a model rocket motor that will create the most thrust. We are also testing if adding fins will affect the flight distance of the rocket. Hypothesis: The best ratio for potassium nitrate to powdered sugar is 1 to 3 because Grant Thompson‚ who has experimented with the best ratio of powdered sugar to potassium nitrate‚ has stated that “The 1 to 3 ratio is best for creating the most amount of thrust
