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. |
