How do temperature changes affect ants?
Test the effects of temperature change on ants. You will need an ant observatory and some ants. You will also need a cooler or refrigerator large enough to place the ant observatory into.

Do ants produce acid when antagonised?
Make your own indicator paper and try this. Some stinging insects spray formic acid into the air when threatened. Find an anthill, step on it lightly to disturb the ants, without getting stung place a piece of indicator paper over the ants.

Do ants react differently in the dark?
Test the effect of light and darkness on ants. You may want to have two observatories for this experiment.

Are ants picky over their food? Do they have any preference?
The purpose of this experiment was to determine which flavor ants are most attracted to.

Do cockroaches have a sense of direction?
First students make careful observations of cockroach anatomy and behavior. Due to the reputation of the cockroach, students find them intriguing subjects of study. Assessing the behavior of these insects in a maze, allows students to decide if the cockroach manifests learning or an inability to learn. The strongest piece of this activity is challenging students to design their own controlled expe

How are ladybugs affected by insecticides?
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of insecticide on ladybugs. I became interested in this idea because I know that ladybugs are beneficial insects. They live around insect pests, which leads to accidental spraying of the ladybugs. Farmers need the ladybugs to help keep down pest population, and need to avoid killing them accidentally.

What natural insecticide is most effective against crickets?
The purpose of this experiment was to determine what natural pesticide is most effective in killing crickets. I became interested in this idea when I heard about the possibility of banning synthetic pesticides being banned from the market, due to safety issues.

Is the aging process in fruit flies affected by oxygen's radical roles?
The purpose of this experiment was to find out if oxygen's radical role has an effect on aging. The hypothesis states that oxygen's radical role does have an effect on aging. Based on background information and previous experiments performed by scientists, oxygen's radical roles do effect the aging process.

What is a mealworm's favourite color?
Can meal worms see colors? We are not sure. If they can see colors we wanted to know if meal worms have a favorite color. Although this experiment was not exactly scientific we had a lot of fun doing it! My partner and I conducted this experiment because we thought it would be a fun and interesting experience to learn about the color preference of a mealworm. We enjoyed the time we spent on th

Is it possible to tell when mealworms may be out of breath?
Is it possible to tell when mealworms may be out of breath? This simple experiment shows you how.
