This week we were able to catch and isolate some Daphnia from our wetland. I was surprised at the different macroinvertebrates we caught. The kids had a lot of fun learning about these little critters and their characteristics.
We were able to conduct a few experiments on the Daphnia. We measured their heart rate in normal conditions and then added different variables of 5% rubbing alcohol and cold water. The kids generated their own hypothesis of whether or not the Daphnia’s heart rate would increase or decrease. Ask them about the “Daphnia Song”.
We will also be doing some cold blooded experiments on gold fish. I will be looking for some good homes for these little gold fish. Just email or call and you can pick them up.
