Investigation – adaptive behaviour in woodlice

This resource gives two worksheets to use when doing choice chambers investigations with woodlice. The first includes instructions for students to set up and light/dark choice chamber in a petri dish. The second describes how to set one up for damp/dry. Students could set up their own to develop their practical skills.

The two worksheets also include a series of questions based on students observations.

Extend the investigation by asking students to design a choice chamber than combines the following sections dry/dark, dry/light, damp/dark, damp/light.
