In the worm lab, we tested the different containers to see which one had water, the depressant, or the stimulant. I have come to the conclusion that container A was the depressant, container B was water, and container C was the stimulant. My group and I tested all three substances by checking the pulse of a worm from each container. We checked the pulse using a microscope as one person looked through and another person checked the clock to make sure a minute went by. We tested each worm twice, gathered up the data, and took the mean and the median from our results. Container A had an average of 13.4 beats per minute, container B had 26.4 beats per minute, and container C had 28.6 beats per minute. For the median, container A had 12, B had 25.5, and C had 29. As shown in our results, container A had the lowest beats per minute and container C had the highest, and due to this, I conclude that container A was the depressant, B was the water, and C was the stimulant.
(Side note: I was unable to receive data from other groups, so this is based off of my own group's data and my calculations.)
