Taxis in Larval and Adult Mealworm Beetles ... conduct experiments on the choice behavior of Mealworm beetles (Tenebrio molitor) ... Yellow Mealworm beetles have been introduced accidentally from Europe by colonists. They feed on stored grain. bran, and cereals, or occasionally on packaged food and other stored dry foods.

You can even pour some of the bran from the jar onto a piece of paper and gently sort through it to see that the mealworms have grown and to find more of their shed exoskeletons. Each mealworm will shed its exoskeleton from 9 to 20- times depending upon environmental conditions such as temperature and moisture.

Irritating liquids should be dropped near but not directly on the mealworms. Usually parents allow mealworm experiments to take place at home. Sometimes they even become involved in the work themselves. You might want to send a note home asking parents to cooperate.

Write down 10-12 student generated questions then discuss what makes a questions appropriate/feasible for a a laboratory investigation (the mealworm is not hurt, we get some useful information from our research, we have the laboratory equipment, etc.). Below are student questions that experiments can be designed from:

This is a unit on Animal Behavior which is designed for a general Biology II class, but can be used with Biology I classes quite easily. ... In classroom cooperative groups, they design experiments on mealworm behavior, critique and modify them, and then carry them out. ... What kind of observations or experiments were done?

Purpose is to conduct the two mealworm experiments, fill out the data charts, and answer written questions that draw students back full circle reflecting on their hypotheses in relation to their experimental findings.  Drawing a picture of the mealworm with body parts labeled & any other written comments will be done...
