What science experiment on worms could a high student do?

Question

What would be a good science experiment on worms? If yes what kind of materials would I use?

Answer 1

u could find the changes in accelerations by racing them. all u would need are some paper, marker, timer and 2 or more worms.

Answer 2

You would really only be able to disect it. You'll be able to see how a simple body operates and looking at things like the hearts and other major organs. Just don't cut down too deep or you'll make a real mess inside (yuck). The only thing you're going to need is a solution that would have the worm preserved and cleaned properally as well as a sharp knife (an exacto knife works fine). The link below gives you a basic knowledge of the worm and also has a quiz at the end for you. It's a really good site if you need this info for a test or science fair you have coming up.

Answer 3

You could try to estimate how many worms there are under the schools football field.

Make a "wooden square" 1 yard by 1 yard out of four sticks, throw it randomly on the field, say, five or ten times. Each time sprinkle a watering can full of water with a little formaldehyde in it over the are inside the square (this will make the worms come out), then calculate how many worms there probably are under the field by figuring out how many square yards the whole field is and doing the math...

Maybe you could do your yard, too, and figure out if worms like yards or football fields best!

Answer 4

Oh, there's no telling what a high student is likely to do with a worm. Better get him sobered up before class.
