Self-Designed Mealworm Experiment @ L8!

Date: 19th January 2011


GATHERING INFO ON THE MEALWORM
Observations
- Burrowed under 2 paper towels
- Moved away from light source
- Crawled onto dark side of black & white paper
- Burrowed under plastic spoon in the container
- Moved away from puddle of water

Inferences
- The mealworm likes dark conditions
- The mealworm does not like wet surroundings

Questions & Refining of Experiment
- E.g. do mealworms prefer black or white surfaces?
- Refine this experiment by placing mealworms in a box, and put paper under the box, so the texture which the mealworm crawls on is constant.
