The Effect of Chemical X on the Health of Brown Planaria

Abstract

The hypothesis for this science experiment states if the amount of

chemical “X” is more than 40 ml, then the health of the Brown Planaria will

be affected negatively. The procedure for this experiment involves four

plastic containers that contain one of six concentrations. These

concentrations are 125 ml of pond water, 100 ml of pond water with 25ml

of chemical “X”, 85 ml of pond water with 40 ml of chemical “X”, 75 ml of

pond water with 50 ml of chemical “X”, 125 ml of pond water with 1 pipette

full (2 ml) of chemical “X”, and 125 ml of pond water with 1 drop of

chemical “X”. After completing this experiment what can be concluded is

chemical “X” is hazardous to the health of Brown Planaria because most

of the worms that were exposed to chemical “X” died, yet for the 125 ml of

pond water with 1 drop of chemical “X” the Brown Planaria all survived

and maintained normal activity.
