Slaters Investigation

Aim. The show of this investigation is to find out how woodlouses react to an increase or drop of the temperature in its surroundings. Hypothesis The speed of the slaters depart increase when the temperature of its environment is increase or decreased from its preferred range, so it ensures that they spend less prison term in unfavorable conditions to avoid desiccation. Method 1. This experiment is done use a urine toilet to change and control the temperature cosmos trialed.The water bath provide have a lid on it in order to keep the light intensity and humidity as unbroken as possible. 2. Ice and warm water would be used to the temperatures being trialed in this experiment. The temperature range that I am going to be victimisation is 10C,15C,20C,25C,30C. The temperature will be controlled between each Slater trial run by measuring the temperature of the water with a thermometer and adjusting the temperature to ensure that each Slater test is accurate and fair.The light i ntensity and humidity of the environment would be monitored throughout the experiment. 3. A beaker with a piece of authorship stuck to the bottom of it will be placed into the water bath once the water bath have adjusted to the temperature being trialed. In order for the test to be accurate, I would give the beaker and paper 2 minutes to adjust to the temperature that I am trialing before putting the woodlouse in it. 4.Starting with the temperature at 10C, I would draw a dot at the center of the paper in the beaker as a starting point. Each Slater will have 60 seconds and I will start once the slater have touched the dot on the paper. In order to euphony the distance that the Slater have travelled in that 60 seconds, I will mark the position of the Slater every time it turns explosive charge of movement in each test, at the end of each Slater test the markings would then be joined together to show the hump trail of the Slater
