258 Words2 Pages

Rolly-polly Research Paper Terrestrial isopods are also known as sow bugs or pill bugs. Pill bugs are related to lobster, crabs, and shrimp. Pill bugs are found in moist areas like under rocks; also they are different from sow bugs. Pill bugs curl into a ball when they feel threatened, as to sow bugs when they feel threatened, they run away.Today, for my experiment, I will need some soaked and dried paper towels. Therefore, one paper towel will be soaked with baking soda, and the other towel will be left dried. I will be sharing my documented data on the experiment. For experiment with wet and, dry towels, the pill bugs liked more the wet paper towel than the dry paper towel, because they like moist areas. For my other part of my experiment

    Based on my observations I hypothesized that both Herbert Run and the Commons stream would have a high level of nitrate, conductivity, and turbidity. I hypothesized this because of traffic, liter, and the waste and pollution in both streams. For the Commons Stream, the Conductivity was 1086µS/cm. The turbidity was 0 FAU. Last, the Nitrate level for Commons was 0.08 ppm.

    The overall purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of different types of environments on pill bug attractancy. Pill bugs were exposed to 2 different environments (sugar and water). The attractancy was observed and recorded in a raw data table. A research hypothesis was formulated that the sugar would work as the best attractant for pill bugs. Sugar had the greatest impact of the two environments used because it attracted 8/9 ants.

    Future Plans How many licks can tootsie roll take before melting away? The washington post says “But Tootsie Roll, which has traded on its name for decades, has remained deeply stuck in the past. Now, with its spiritless sales and slipping profits, the $2 billion confectioner is facing what analysts call a hard truth for the modern sweets industries: Candymakers must evolve or die.” It sounds like to me that tootsie roll is near the end of the line because they are having a hard time catching up to today’s times and they are living in the past.

    Though caution was emphasized, and extreme carefulness had been placed in the taping process, some tape may have gotten inside the bottle, and fruit flies may have been stuck to it, which had skewed data. The lab manual from College Board, which states, “The common fruit fly….feeds on the fungi of rotting fruit,” (College Board 2004) reinforces the hypothesis clearly, and depicts chi square values with values such as 18.75. Experiments performed in UC Davis show that “fruit flies are regularly trapped….by yeast, and “the chemicals released by microbes….[attracted] more flies.” (Garvey 2014)
