What type of environment do Red Isopods prefer?
Problem|Purpose What type of enviroment do Red Isopods prefer? The purpose of this mini lab is to determine which enviroment red isopods to live in/on. Either moist or dry. Hypothesis My hypothesis to this experiment is that I think red isopods would actually like both sides, moist and dry. By what I know about isopods, I think they like the moist area because, isopods are usually found under rocks, when it usually rains, water can go under the rocks and can stay there for a while, leaving the bottom of the rock moist and wet. I also think isopods would like dry surface because under rocks, there is no sign of water unless it rains. I know this because in my backyard, I find many isopods under rocks. Materials v Aluminum Bin v Two sheets of paper towel v A cup of water v A cup of isopods v Large construction papers v One set of gloves v Timer v Science Journal and writing utensil Procedure 1) Wear both gloves. 2) Take one towel paper, fold it and put it on one side of the aluminum bin.
