Pill bugs are bugs that like dark wooded areas. Describe some parts of an experiment to determine the preference of pill bugs for light or darkness.  In your answer be sure to:

• identify the independent variable in the experiment

• identify two conditions that should be kept the same in all experimental setups

• state one example of experimental data that would support your hypothesis

• Using the virtual lab (click LINK above for access to the virtual lab) place the different types of corn in the hoods. Do not place any ECB (European corn borer’s) in the hoods. Allow the plants to grow and count the yield of corn.

• Determine the effects ECB will have on corn plant growth by placing the same concentration of ECB in the hoods with the different types of corn plants. Make sure that you are using the same corn plants that you used the first time.

 

• Complete the data table based on the procedures above. Create a graph based on your data

 

• Use your data to complete your analysis questions. You can use the internet to assist you with your answers. BUT your answers are EXPECTED to be written in your voice (This means NO PLAGARIZING or COPYING someone else's work).
