Description

General Biology I – Lab Questions: Lab #1 Directions: Please read and answer each of the following questions. Once completed, please save your document, and submit the completed document to Blackboard. 1. What are the four main steps of the scientific method? Make an observation that describes a problem, make a hypothesis, test your hypothesis, and draw your conclusions to see if your hypothesis was correct. 2. What was the outcome you identified from the virtual lab experiment regarding pill bugs? The outcome of the experiment was that the pillbugs decided to go in the cornstarch instead of the sand. 3. How do you think the pill bug experiment would have been affected if you did not have the two-choice chambers with just sand? I think there wouldn’t have been any results to test my hypothesis because, with the control group, the pillbugs didn’t really move that much because it was just sand in the containers. 4. Why do you think the pill bugs moved to the cornstarch? I think that pillbugs went to the cornstarch because they probably saw it as nutrients, so they moved to the cornstarch. 5. How would you change this experiment if you wanted to test multiple substances, and what substances would you want to test? I would change the experiment by adding liquids like any fruit juice or milk including the substances that were used on the regular experiment....
