Reaction of planaria to pH, light and temperature conditions |
|
|
|
Introduction:
While studying about fresh
water animals, I came across planaria, a small creature that
demonstrates unique and unusual properties. Planarians
are free-living, flat bodied, freshwater creatures that exhibit
the remarkable ability to regenerate their lost body parts.
They live in lakes, streams, ponds, and other freshwater bodies.
They can be conditioned to respond to stimuli, display the ability
to master a two-choice maze, and can transfer the memory of
training from one individual to another. |
 |
To learn more about planarians, I have
decided to study their life cycle and find out how they react to
different environmental conditions such as light, pH and temperature.

Project
description:
In this project you will gather some planarians and perform a variety of
experiments on them. You may make close observation of their living, eating
and reproduction habits. You will also test the effects of light, temperature
and pH on planarians. |
