Investigation Into the Conditions that Wood Lice Prefer
I am going to place twenty wood lice in the centre of a choice chamber
with four chambers around it. The four chambers will be dark and damp,
dark and dry, light and damp or light and dry. I am going to place the
dish in a dark place with a light shinning on it to simulate 24 hours
of sunlight. The bulb will be 40 watts and 60 cm away from the dish as
not to heat the dish. I will make two of the chambers dark by covering
them in card so no light will get through. There will be a piece of
cotton wool in each chamber. Two will be damp and two will be dry.
Cotton wool is vegetable matter as it comes from a plant. Since wood
lice eat this and they can also smell it which will attract them to
it's preferred condition.
I will make it a fair test by having all variables such as heat and
light constant by leaving it in a dark cupboard so it is not
interfered by day and night. I will also make it fair by leaving it
alone or the full 24 hours then record data.
I predict that the woodlice will prefer the dark and damp chamber
because woodlice associate darkness with safety and protection. This
is why woodlice live under such thing as stones because predators find
it difficult to locate and get at them. They also like moisture
because they are crustaceans and most other crustaceans live in water
such as crabs.
I am also using 6 sets of results, one from each group in my class. I
will then average out the data to account for anomalies.

Experiment #2: The purpose of this experiment is to test which colors work best and float while under a different light source.
To improve the method, I would have used a machine to cut the chips to

n hypothesis of the experiment is that the group containing four members will perform better than the group containing two members. This is the foundation from which we have conducted our experiment.

Also if someone cant sleep without a night lamp, buying a colored one would be better. The darker the color is the less exposure it has and uses less energy.

Behaviour of Wood Lice Experiment In the experiment I was offered the choice to investigate the behaviour of woodlice in a wet or dry environment or a light or dark environment. I chose to investigate the behaviour of woodlice in a wet or dry environment. Woodlice belong to the biological class crustacea. Most of the animals in this class are aquatic, and though the terrestrial species can breathe with the aid of primitive ‘lungs’ they lack the features found in most other land-dwelling arthropods.
