1 TERMITE TRACKS SP. 4; SP 5: SP 6; SP 7

2 TERMITE TRACKS After watching the video, Termites video 1 Termites video 2 design and conduct some mini-experiments to come up with an explanation about why the termites are behaving this way. • Record data in your BILL • Write a “What does the data suggest?” summary that includes 3 statements about your findings • PROVIDE EVIDENCE FOR YOUR CONCLUSIONS!

3 The data suggest that pillbugs are more likely to follow a pen line than another type of writing instrument because … of the items tests (pen, pencil, sharpie marker, highlighter, and colored pencil ) termites only followed the pen. The data suggest that the shape of the line doesn’t affect the termites’ ability to follow because straight lines, curved lines, circles and triangle shapes were tested and the termites were able to follow all of these. The data suggest that the color of the line isn’t a factor in the termites ability to follow the line because they were able to follow a black, blue, and red pen line.

4 The data suggest that the color of the line isn’t a factor in the termites ability to follow the line because They followed pen lines drawn with certain blue pens (BIC) but not other blue pens. The data suggest that pillbugs were responding to something in the pen ink because … they were able to follow thick pen lines easier than faint pen lines The data suggest that pillbugs were responding to something in the pen ink because … they did not follow a line without pen ink made in the paper with a pen cap.
