  1. Lab 1-1: Roly Poly Lab Day 1: Introduction to Isopods and Brainstorming an Experiment

  2. Introduction to Isopods • Read Handling instructions and Background information in Packet

  3. Your Group Goal for todays class time • Plan an experiment around isopod behavior using the equipment that is available to you. • Possible environmental conditions to test. • Light exposure • Temperature • Surface preference • Use the Day 1 instructions in the packet to plan all the necessary components of the experiment. Call me over to approve your experiment when you are done. • Honor Day 1 Homework – Type a detailed procedure bring 2 copies to class tomorrow

  4. Day 2: Testing your Procedure and Editing • Procedure Detail Activity: • Get into your lab groups. • Exchange procedures with your group members. • Perform the steps of the procedure exactly as they are written. • The author of the procedure cannot speak during this step. • The author should take notes on his/her second copy of the procedure. What areas were unclear to your group members? What details need to be included? Are there any missing steps. • Run through all the procedures in your groups. • Discuss how to take the best parts of each procedure and make one master procedure that you will use tomorrow. • Incorporate the common data table into your procedure.

  5. Day 2: My Ideas on Data Collection • Manipulated Variable: Varies Group to group • Responding variable: Location of Roly Poly’s in the Choice chamber (Same for all groups) • Suggestion – Start with a total of 4 roly poly’s, 2 on each side • Sample Size - Total number of observations • 2 experimental group trials • 2 control group trials
