Hot vs cold:
Exploring
0 5 5
Gradual movement to damp side
0.5 8 2
Almost all on damp side
1 9 1
2 circulating on dry
1.5 10 0
Less flipping, all exploring damp side
2 10 0
Less physical contact
2.5 10 0
Separated and slow motion

Reduced movement scattered through
3.5 10 0 middle
One alone exploring dry

Neutral vs Acid:
1. Temperature
a. If the pillbugs are exposed to a choice between either high temperature environment, or room
temperature, they will prefer the room temperature chamber over the hot chamber.
2. Method
a. The objective of this experiment is to test which environment the pillbugs prefer, hot, or room
temperature.
b. Materials to be used are:
i. Pillbugs (10)
ii.2 choice chamber
iii.Hot plate
iv.Books
v.Water
vi.Filter paper (2)
vii.Timing device
c. Procedure
i. Place 1 filter paper in each chamber
ii.Place 5 ml of H2O on each piece
iii.Place choice chamber setup on warm hot plate
iv.Place 5 pillbugs in each side
v.Observe how the organisms move through the chambers
3. Record data
a. Number of isopods in each chamber
b. Behavior (movement) in chambers
c. See above pages
4. Run
a. Done
5. Graph
a. See above
6. Conclusion
a. In conclusion my hypothesis was proven correct. The pillbugs preferred the chamber on the
books (room temperature) over the hot plate chamber (hot).
1. Moisture:
a. If the pillbugs are exposed to a choice between either a moist environment, or a dry environment,
they will prefer the moist chamber over the dry chamber.
2. Method
a. The objective of this experiment is to test which environment the pillbugs prefer, moist, or dry
environments
.
b. Materials to be used are:
i. Pillbugs (10)
ii.2 choice chamber
iii.Water
iv.Filter paper (2)
v.Timing device
c. Procedure
i. Place 1 filter paper in each chamber
ii.Place 5 ml of H2O on one piece
iii.Place choice chamber setup on desk
iv.Place 5 pillbugs in each side
v.Observe how the organisms move through the chambers
3. Record data
a. Number of isopods in each chamber
b. Behavior (movement) in chambers
c. See above pages
4. Run
a. Done
5. Graph
a. See above
6. Conclusion
a. In conclusion my hypothesis was proven correct. The pillbugs preferred the moist chamber over
the dry chamber.
1. pH:
a. If the pillbugs are exposed to a choice between either an acidic environment, or a neutral
environment, they will prefer the neutral chamber over the acidic chamber.
2. Method
a. The objective of this experiment is to test which environment the pillbugs prefer, acidic, or
neutral environments.
3. Record data
a. Number of isopods in each chamber
b. Behavior (movement) in chambers
c. See above pages
4. Run
a. Done
5. Graph
a. See above
6. Conclusion
a. In conclusion my hypothesis was proven correct. The pillbugs preferred the neutral chamber over
the acidic chamber.
1. Presence of Soil:
a. If the pillbugs are exposed to a choice between either a chamber with soil, or a chamber without
soil, they will prefer the soil chamber over the non soil chamber.
2. Method
a. The objective of this experiment is to test which environment the pillbugs prefer, soil, or empty
environments (no soil).
3. Record data
a. Number of isopods in each chamber
b. Behavior (movement) in chambers
c. See above pages
4. Run
a. Done
5. Graph
a. See above
6. Conclusion
a. In conclusion my hypothesis was proven correct. The pillbugs preferred the soil chamber over
the non soil chamber.
