2. Model Organisms
= living systems used to study biological processes. Many biological processes are nearly the same in all living things.

3. Model Organisms – C. elegans
They are very well-studied so there is already a wide body of knowledge about them.
They are small, transparent, reproduce quickly, and are relatively inexpensive to house.
Although simple looking, they have complex organ systems (digestive, excretory, reproductive, nervous, etc.) that have processes similar to those of humans.

5. Prediction Tool
What do you think will happen to the worms after we move them to a high salt environment? 
Compare your ideas with your partner/table:
What is going on at the organism level of the worm’s traits? 
What is going on at the cellular level with the worm’s traits? 
What is going on at the molecular level in the worm’s traits? 

6. Class Data Table – Period 1 (eggs, larvae and adults and worms response to touch)
LOW Salt
HIGH Salt
Day 0
Worms moving in s- pattern, moved like snakes. All 4 life stages observed.
Most worms at center near food. Bigger worms were in middle, smaller near edges. Worms in clumps NA
Day 1
Clumps of worms, more worms present today than on before, more eggs present, more adults (bigger ones), more spread out.
Moving slower or barely moving, appear to be dead, on food source but hard to tell if they are eating, some eating, very few moving in s-shape,
Day 2
Not moving as much, moving a little, all life stages present,
Some plates have more movement than yesterday, some plates no movement, all life stages present, not big movements.
Day 3

7. Class Data Table – Period 3 (eggs, larvae and adults and worms response to touch)
LOW Salt
HIGH Salt
Day 0
Moved around like normal worms, ran into each other, moving in S-shape, all life stages, egg, L1, L2, L3 and L4, located more toward food, seemed to move away from light NA
Day 1
Moving faster than high salt plates, moving in S-shape, all life stages found.
Worms had no movement or slow movement, eggs, L1, L2
Day 2
Worms moving fast, lots of eggs, less worms on edge, mostly in center eating e.coli, some are not moving, worms are smalls, L1-L3
Smaller worms, L1-L2, no eggs, located toward middle, if movement – very little. Couldn’t see them eating but less e. coli.
Day 3

8. Class Data Table – Period 4 (eggs, larvae and adults and worms response to touch)
LOW Salt
HIGH Salt
Day 0
All 4 life stages visible (egg, L1, L2, L3, L4). Most located in the center. Switchback movements, somewhat “S” shaped. Contact made them immediately go opposite directions. NA
Day 1
Moving, less populated, all life stages visible, some tables only saw L4 and L2, mostly staying in place but moving.
Not moving, or very little movement, staying in place maybe so they don’t absorb salt.
Day 2
Worms are spread out over entire plate, life stages egg-L4, e. coli is eaten, normal s-shape movement
Mostly L1-2s, a lot of worms in one area, some moving, a lot not moving.
Day 3

9. Class Data Table – Period 5 (eggs, larvae and adults and worms response to touch)
LOW Salt
HIGH Salt
Day 0
Moved at a constant speed in an “s” shape
All life stages including egg and L1-4
Spread out, most around food source
Avoided light? NA
Day 1
Sluggish, movement is less but still moving, less stages and worms, mostly early stages (L1-2)
Dead? Very few moving, but not as many, concentrated in one area, not moving outward smaller in size compared to low salt.
Day 2
Day 3

10. Observing Worms – Day 1
After at least 15 minutes of the worms moving to a high salt plate, observe, sketch, and collect data about the worms on the ‘Worm Observation Data Table’ for ‘Day 1.’ Draw with detail and to scale.
Do not leave the worms on the microscope in the light for more than a few minutes at a time, as they can get too hot.
Some things to look for:
What life stages are present (adult, larvae, egg)?
Where are worms on the plate (on agar, on food, near edge of plate)?
What are the worms doing (moving, not moving, feeding) and how are they moving?
