Praktikum vom 19.3.2007 materials:
-galvanized iron sheet (100cm to 10cm)
tape (width ca.2cm)
-meter rule
clamshell
-hot (about 60 ° C) and ice-water-
Some amphipods
With these materials we have now established a temperature-called organ.
First we have the sheet metal with hammer and pliers so bent that has emerged from a long long sheet about 3cm wide and 3cm high and 60cm long tub.
The sharp edges were then secured with tape.
The trough was divided lengthwise into sections about 10 cm long and filled with a 1cm layer of water.
The two shells, one with hot and the other with cold water, were placed at each end under the sink so the water surface of the shell touches the tank bottom. So the water was adopted in the tub on the individual shells, the respective temperature. So we had at one end of the bath hot and cold water at the other end.
were now placed the shrimp in the water and the Observation period started.
Most amphipods have been in the cold area (9 ° C - 15 ° C) found.
