This life science activity
investigates the behavior of earthworms. Students recognize that an organism’s
behavior is a response to an environment stimulus and that an organism’s
behavior evolves through adaptation to its environment. In a cooperative-learning
laboratory setting, students measure the physical activity of earthworms
using a motion sensor under various controlled temperatures to simulate
seasonal differences in the environment. After collecting and analyzing
the data, students predict the most suitable temperature for earthworms,
then test their predictions in the worm’s natural habitat.
