Are Termites Prefer Circular Paths Over The Ones With Sharp Angles?

A prediction that was made was, the termites would track only the lines drawn by utensils made from wood (Crayola colored pencils and the Dixon #2 pencil). This prediction was based off the fact that termites eat wood, so they may be able to smell wood traces left in the lines drawn by these utensils. This prediction was proven incorrect at the end of the experiment. One can check this statement by viewing the histogram and data tables above. Even though this prediction was proven wrong, the hypothesis was supported. Viewing the data tables, it shows that most the termites followed one certain type of pen. The rest of the termites followed some sort of pen, but did not follow a Crayola colored pencil or the Dixon #2 pencil. Which concludes that the tracking ability of the termite is affected by the writing utensil used. The article Directional selection by termites at a branching node created by a ballpoint pen found in the Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology explains that termites use chemical pheromones to track down their nest, create branching trails from the main ones so each termite can hunt for food and easily bring it back to the nest. The chemical used by the termites has a relating chemical within ballpoint pens “2-phenoxyethanol”. When the termite is placed on or near a line drawn by a ballpoint pen, the termite then uses its antennas to

This experiment was performed to observe the taxis and kinesis of certain organisms. This is important because the organism’s survival and ability to reproduce depends on how they orient to stimuli using senses. We investigated the behavior of pill bugs to determine if they’ll move towards or away from the vinegar through smell. If I place pill bugs in a behavior tray with different chambers, then they’ll move away from the chambers that contains vinegar. A behavior tray with 5 chambers is used and 2 were control while the other 2 has cotton balls with a few drops of vinegar on it. 5 pill bugs are positioned in the center of the chambers and is covered with a transparent cover to observe the organisms for 10 minutes. Results had shown the class

There are a few reasons why some Termites became more successful than others. Some of the Termites grew up in a community with strong morals and goals. This made them more likely to achieve a higher level of education. But some Termites lived with complicated families, moving from town to town, and may have not been in the best financial state to pursue a higher education. Other Termites were unable to succeed in college due to the distractions of their own health. Not every Termite grew up in a world where they could obtain the medication or help they needed. All of these past experiences make you the person you are today, but not necessarily ensuring a bright future at a university like Bowling Green State University.

Wherever you live in California, from San Diego, Long Beach or Los Angeles, north to San Francisco, Fresno or Oakland, termites can be a problem.There are methods to reduce or eliminate the possibility that they will damage or destroy your home, but you need to know what to look for and how to handle them. A termite inspection is your first line of defense. After all, you cannot work on getting rid of termites if you do not realize they are chewing up your property.

It’s fall verging on winter and it’s cold outside. Well, in Texas it’s cold outside, then hot outside, then cold outside. But it’s still fall verging on winter and you might think that means that termites are taking a break from their spring and summer full-frontal assault on your beautiful home. You’d be wrong. Every expert in pest control in Southlake TX will tell you that termites never sleep. They never go on vacation. And because they’re inside your home for the winter, they never freeze either. So, what do they do? They eat.

I was doing yard work for my grandparents and i found this. I had to identify what it was and i figured out that it was a cicada bug shell.

Lately, we, the seventh grade of SLCS have been learning about the brain and the five senses. We have gained a better understanding of how our five senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste. We have been taught how electric signals are sent to our frontal lobe to compare each experience with another event we have been through in our lives. To test our knowledge further, we conducted an experiment comprised of eight mice and mazes. We will execute this experiment by following the steps of the scientific method: asking questions, developing a hypothesis, collecting data, and analyzing results. We set a mouse into the one of the four mazes and recorded the time they completed the maze and came out. The mice had to use their senses in order

After completing the lab The Effect Colors of Pen have on Termites Behavior it could be identified that termites like black pens the most and prefer to follow an ink line. In both trials the termites seemed to avoid the squares for the most part, but when they got near one they would walk around the outside of the square. Out of all the colors it was evident black was the preffered color because they spend 11 seconds inside that square 2 seconds in the blue, and 3 seconds in the red. While this seems like a short period of time considering each trial was 2 minutes long the termites spend a good majority of that time near the black square which we did not put into our data table.

This is a study of evolution using mathematical biology, show how sexual selection and natural selection play of each other and produce strange things in the animal world. Ornamentals shows

The manual method was the most popular method chosen by boys. Seven boys out of nine who decided to do their project on vertebrates chose that the manual method was the best method. Out of twenty boys who chose invertebrates, eight of them also chose the manual method as the best method and out of nineteen boys who chose plants, nine of them chose the manual method as well making the

During this experiment, we will be able to see the effects of natural pollutants on Ankistrodesmus allege. so that there is an incredible amount of pollutions in the world, the almost infinite amounts of experiments that can be used to test these theory’s and hypothesis. The one that our group used was the allege and sodium chloride method to test the effects of pollutiants. We gave this experiment 21 days and recorded they data every day we attend the class for non-consecutive three weeks.

Cockroaches actively avoid brightly lit open areas and are capable of learning places by virtue of visual cues

After observation, the cotton ball was switched to the other end with cinnamon on it.

Detecting early signs of termites requires checking the areas where termites would feed. Checking outside in the garden would show signs in dead leaves, tree stumps and the soil for mud holes. Check, for entranceway into your walls by way of the siding, may sure you have know cracks or spaces for termites to enter.

The purpose of this experiment is to test how location affects whether or not the clay caterpillar models will get pecked by birds. Twenty-one clay caterpillars were made and they were made to be 5 cm ± 0.01cm long and 1 cm ± 0.01cm in diameter. Seven caterpillar models were placed in each of the three locations. The three locations are my backyard, the park, and my community garden. As a control variable, all the caterpillars were placed 300 cm ± 50 cm above the ground. An equal amount of caterpillars were glued, to prevent them falling off, in similar areas such as trees, bushes, and fences. This experiment went on for three weeks. Each week is considered one trial. Each caterpillar that was pecked or not was recorded and the data was placed
