Description I had a lab about investigating the behavioral responses of an invertebrate to an external environment stimulus. I chose to experiment with the illumination environmental factor ( which is light ). I used a list of equipment in this practical which consists of ( 2x choice chambers/ stop clock / black cloth/ light meter ( lux meter )/ sticky tape ). 1) The chambers were used to make a control out of the Woodlice to the experiment and the other chamber to experiment their responses towards the light. 2) the black cloth was used besides the sticky tape to make half of the chamber as a dark place and the opt her half of the chamber for the light to come through ( so we can see the response of the Woodlice picking which part to settle in. 3) the stop clock is used to set a fixed time for the Woodlice to settle in a place. 4) the light meter is used to measure the light and to measure the dark place that I set on the other half of the chamber. I marked the left side as the light side and the right side as the dark side and and set the stop clock limit for 3 minutes. * I will be adding some pictures in the attachment file area that addresses the data collected in the lab and some references and the format of how the report should be structured. * there should be 10 controls which should be on the left hand side of each of the 2 pictures and 10 variables on the right hand side of the pictures. I have attached as well the practical document if that would help you but on the last page where it says ( Practical write up 1 of practical proftolio ) is the part where it explains how the report has to be structured.
