Question

1. what is your hypothesis for this experiment?

a. pillbugs that are indifferent to cornstarch will have random movements between chambers.
b. pillbugs that don’t like cornstarch will move away from the side of the chamber with cornstarch.
c. pillbugs that like cornstarch will move toward the choice chamber with cornstarch.

1. what is your strategy?

a. i will add 5 pillbugs on the left and 5 pillbugs on the right and count the number of pillbugs on each side at regular intervals of time.
b. i will put one pillbug into the choice chamber and see where it immediately goes.
c. i will add 10 pillbugs and then continue to add pillbugs so that the number of pillbugs in each container remains equal.

1. what is your experimental setup for the top choice chamber?

Explanation:

1. A hypothesis in an experiment is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. In the context of pillbugs and cornstarch, all options A, B, and C are valid hypotheses as they predict the behavior of pillbugs based on their preference for cornstarch.
2. For an experiment to be reliable, a good strategy is to use a sufficient sample - size and observe over time. Option A provides a systematic way of observing the movement of pillbugs by adding a set number to each side and counting at regular intervals. Option B has a very small sample - size (one pillbug) and may not be representative, and option C's continuous addition of pillbugs makes it difficult to accurately measure movement patterns.
3. Since the question about experimental setup for the top choice chamber is incomplete (no options provided), we can't answer it. But for the first two questions:

Answer:

1. A. Pillbugs that are indifferent to cornstarch will have random movements between chambers., B. Pillbugs that don’t like cornstarch will move away from the side of the chamber with cornstarch., C. Pillbugs that like cornstarch will move toward the choice chamber with cornstarch.
2. A. I will add 5 pillbugs on the left and 5 pillbugs on the right and count the number of pillbugs on each side at regular intervals of time.
