The Meal Worm Experiment

For our experiment, we decided to see how the mealworms reacted to heat. For a few minutes, I would put the mealworms under a heating lamp. The mealworms would burrow under their sawdust when they were under the heating lamp and would not move around much. As they heated up, condensation collected around the edge of the tupperware. Once the condensation was gone, the worms seemed more comfortable moving around and would occasionally surface.

Heating Conditions	Response
Under Heat	Moved to the bottom. They typically did not move around much.
Room Temperature	Some rise to the surface. They move around quite a bit.
