    Pill bugs, (also named sow or potato bugs) are terrestrial crustaceans that consume decomposed leaves or other plants. In the lab performed on September 24, 2010, animal behavior of the isopods was recorded, specifically in the climate that they preferred. Various climates situations such as Light vs. Dark, Hot vs. Cold, and Wet vs. Dry were tested and observed. The results came back with the pill bugs favoring dark, wet environments. However the data took 10 minutes to be collected and the bugs’ behavior was that of kinesis.…

    This lab’s purpose is to help differentiate between kinesis and taxis movements of pill bugs (Armadillidiidae). The experiment is designed to be interpreted in the real world to accurately help locate populations of pill bugs. A choice chamber was filled with four different mediums in four different locations to test the pill bugs’ preference of mediums. The middle or fifth chamber of the choice chamber was not filled with any medium so it could serve as the control group of the experiment. The mediums consisted of pine shavings, moss, mulch, and mealworm nutrient. The movement of the pill bugs was observed and reported every minute for fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, the final observation of the location of each of the pill bugs was recorded and used later in the experiment. This method of study was chosen because it provided an easy yet effective way to observe and record the movement of the pill bugs. The choice chamber would offer an easy way for the pill bugs to be located and then quickly have their population observed and written down as data.…

    Investigating plant diseases As you learned in an earlier Study Guide, many different organisms can cause disease in plants, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, nematodes and insects. All parts of a plant may be attacked, including roots, stems, leaves and flowers. It is sometimes difficult to identify the causes of plant diseases but black spots caused by fungi are usually easier to identify and viruses may cause leaf deformities or patchy discolouration on leaves or flowers. It is usually easy to identify damage to plants caused by insect attack, too. The edges of leaves may be chewed by caterpillars, there may be white tracks caused…

A brief description of the procedure is that the leaves were put in a Petri dish full of sand and sow bugs. Then there were recordings of how much of each leaf the Sow bugs had eaten each day. Observations on what the Sow bugs had eaten, and how they were acting were recorded everyday. The Sow bugs preferred the Hickory leaf above all leaves involved in this experiment.…

    If a sow bug is placed in a choice tray, and has access to decaying leaves, potatoes, grapes, and sow bug food, the sow bug will choose the decaying leaves over its other options. This hypothesis was based on research stating that a sow bug's main food source is decaying vegetation. This is the food they are accustomed to and therefore will select over the other three options which they rarely if ever would have access to.…
