Elephants Can’t Jump
& Other Freaky Scientific Facts

Welcome to a Fun Site about Science!

Did you know that elephants can’t jump even though they have the same number of bones in their feet as other mammals?
The bones in an elephant’s foot are more closely packed together than other mammals so they do not have the flexibility or spring mechanisms that would enable them to jump.
How many bones are in an elephant’s trunk?		The elephant’s trunk has numerous muscles but NO BONE.
What is a baby oyster called?		They are called spats!
Three fruits are native to North America.		Cranberries, Concord grapes, and blueberries!
What was the name of the captain and the ship on which Darwin made his famous voyage?		Captain Fitzroy on the H.M.S. Beagle
	A Swedish botanist, naturalist, physician and zoologist — Who am I?	Carolus Linnaeus

Isopod Behavior

Isopods in Training

Introduction:

Terrestrial isopods are land dwelling crustaceans, commonly known as sowbugs or pillbugs (or rollypollys). They are related to lobsters, crabs, and shrimp and terrestrial isopods breath with gills. While they look similar, sow bugs are different from pill bugs. Pill bugs will curl into a ball when threatened whereas sow bugs will attempt to flee.

Ethology is the study of animal behavior. Many behaviors involve movement of the animal within its environment. In this exercise, you will investigate some innate (instincts) behaviors of isopods. Orientation is a process by which animals position themselves with respect to spatial features of their environments. Taxis involves the turning of an animal’s body relative to a stimulus – either toward or away. Kinesis is a random turning or movement of an animal in relation to a stimulus.

Materials:

isopods, behavior chamber, paper towels, water

Procedure – Orientation of Isopods in Response to Moisture

Cut paper towels to fit into the bottom of BOTH sides of your behavior chamber.
Moisten one side with tap water while keeping the other side dry.
Transfer 5 isopods to each side of the chamber (total of 10).
Count and record the number of animals on each side of the chamber every 30 seconds for ten minutes.
Record your data in the data table.

Data:

Time	# in Wet	# in Dry
0:00
0:30
1:00
1:30
2:00
2:30
3:00
3:30
4:00
4:30
5:00
5:30
6:00
6:30
7:00
7:30
8:00
8:30
9:00
9:30
10:00

Analysis:

1. Based on your observations, do isopods prefer a moist or dry environment.

2. Would this movement be taxis or kinesis? Explain your answer.

3. Suggest a reason why this behavior might be advantageous to an isopod

4. Select one of the following factors and design an experiment to test for your hypothesis.

Factor	Materials (suggested)
Temperature	cold pack, warm pack
Light	lamps, flashlights, dark construction paper, aluminum foil
pH	low pH (HCl), high pH (NaOH)
Substrate (surface)	soil, sand, sandpaper, bark, paper, cedar chips, gravel
Odor	ammonia
Food	apple, potato, fish food, lunchmeat
Other Organisms	mealworms, crickets, earthworms
