Some materials may be used in more than one procedure. Special Requirements Living material. Live pillbugs, Armadillidium vulgare, for all sections of the lab. Earthworm alternative. Refer to the section titled “Earthworm Alternative” at the end of this laboratory if you wish to use earthworms instead of pillbugs. Fresh material. Substances for instructor to feed pillbugs and substances for students to test pillbug behavior are listed in Section 1.4. 1.2 Observing a Pillbug pillbugs, Armadillidium vulgare, live (Carolina 14-3082) pen, white (or correction fluid, white) or taped tags magnifying lenses or stereomicroscopes small glass or plastic dishes, such as disposable Petri dishes graduated cylinders or small beakers for observing pillbug movement rulers, metric, 30 cm plastic stopwatch Live pillbugs. Obtain 50 pillbugs for a class of 20 to 35 or more students. Order pillbugs so that they arrive as close as possible to the date they will be needed. Use one container of fresh pillbugs for each lab. Care and feeding of pillbugs: Follow care and feeding instructions provided with the pillbug order. Withdraw food 1–2 days prior to the experiment. Use white correction fluid, different colors of nail polish, or tape tabs to number the pillbugs for identification. Collecting pillbugs. Pillbugs like moisture, and avoid sunlight. They can be found next to brick buildings along the grass line or next to sidewalks, or under logs and planks of wood. They are attracted to wet grass covered with a cardboard box or plastic tarp. Encourage students to collect their own pillbugs and give them lab participation points. Collect pillbugs in the spring, summer, and fall as they are hard to find in the winter. Maintaining pillbugs in the lab. After collecting, pillbugs can be easily maintained in a terrarium to keep a fresh supply all year long. They feed primarily on decaying organic matter; they like moisture and avoid sunlight. They like carrots and cucumbers. Change the food daily to prevent mold growth. 1.4 Performing the Experiment and Coming to a Conclusion pillbugs, Armadillidium vulgare, live (Carolina 14-3082) small beakers, 35 -mm film cans, watch glasses, or small Petri dishes for distributing test substances Petri dishes, preferably 150 mm (or else 100 mm) for testing the pillbugs small plastic bottle for spritzing distilled water cotton balls Suggested test substances: flour cornstarch or brand flakes coffee creamer baking soda fine sand (control) milk orange juice or apple juice ketchup applesauce carbonated beverage water (control) Do not use salt, vinegar, or honey, as these substances are harmful to pillbugs. Plain water is used as a control for liquids. Fine sand is used as a control for powders. Experimental design. These methods are recommended: For a dry substance, make a circle of the test substance in a Petri dish and put the pillbug in the center of the circle. For a liquid, put a cotton ball soaked with the test substance in the pillbug's path. Rinse pillbugs between testing procedures by spritzing with distilled water and then placing them on a paper towel to dry. Cleanup. Cleanup is easier and the experiment goes well if there is a limited number of test substances and each student chooses only two dry and two liquid test substances. Substances can be distributed to several stations in small beakers, 35 -mm film cans, watch glasses, or small Petri dishes. Testing pillbugs in 150 mm Petri dishes works well. EXERCISE QUESTIONS 1.1 Using the Scientific Method Why does the scientific method begin with observations? To study the natural world, scientists have to observe natural phenomena. What is the benefit of formulating a hypothesis? The hypothesis tells what is to be tested by experiment or further observations. Why must a scientist keep a complete record of an experiment? They keep a complete record so that others can repeat the experiment and check that the data are valid. What is the purpose of the conclusion? The conclusion tells whether the hypothesis was supported or not. How is a scientific theory different from a conclusion? Each experiment has a conclusion. A scientific theory is based on many conclusions from various experiments in related fields. 1.2 Observing a Pillbug Observation: Pillbug’s External Anatomy 1. • How can you recognize the head end of a pillbug? The head bears antennae and eyes. • How many segments and pair of walking legs are in the thorax? There are 7 segments and 7 pairs of legs. Observation: Pillbug’s Motion 1. a. Describe the action of the feet and any other motion you see. The seven pairs of legs move with the front pair leading, and each pair moves in succession thereafter. b. Allow a pillbug to crawl on your hand. Describe how it feels. It tickles the skin as it moves. c. Does a pillbug have the ability to move directly forward? Yes d. Do you see evidence of mouthparts on the underside of the pillbug? A pillbug has four pairs of mouthparts. 2. As you watch the pillbug, identify: a. the anatomical parts that allow a pillbug to identify and take in food. Antennae, eyes, and mouthparts b. behaviors that will allow a pillbug to acquire food. For example, is the ability of a pillbug to move directly forward a help in acquiring food? Explain. Yes, because it is the most efficient way to reach food . What other behaviors allow a pillbug to acquire food? A pillbug has appropriate mouth parts for taking in and eating food. c. a behavior that helps a pillbug avoid dangerous situations. The pillbug rolls into a ball when it is threatened. Table 1.1 Pillbug Speed* Pillbug Millimeters (mm) Traveled Time (sec) Speed (mm/sec) 1 71 30 2.36 2 122 60 2.20 3 64 30 2.12 Average speed: 2.23 mm/sec *Answers will vary. The answers provided here are examples. 1.3 Formulating Hypotheses 1-3. See Table 1.2 showing three possible student hypotheses regarding flour. Students use "0" for no response, " —" for moves away from the substance, and "+" for moves toward the substance and eats it. Table 1.2 Hypotheses about Pillbug’s Response to Potential Foods Substance Hypothesis About Pillbug’s Response to Potential Foods Reason for Hypothesis Flour 0 Flour is a bland substance. Flour — Flour is a dry substance. Flour + Flour is a food substance.The benefits of buying summaries with Stuvia:
