Tenebrios

In 9th grade lab, each student was provided with a live tenebrio, also known as a mealworm. Mealworms live for approximately one month. In nature, mealworms feed on cereal plants and stored grains. Students put obstacles, food and water near the tenebrio and observed its movements. Students also combined their tenebrios into one petri dish and recorded the movement seen. Because of the size of these worms it was important to use a magnifying glass as they took notes.
