Animal behavioral project with at least 20 subjects to test a hypothesis on. We tried doing the life cycle of a mealworm but they had some kinda jh hormone that would let them pupate. Now we are a week into this project and we have to start over. I only have 2 weeks left and now im out of ideas.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

could buy a bunch of earthworms from a bait shop and, I don't know.... something terrible to them.

so, what was your hypothesis on the mealworms?
how did you even find out they had that hormone, rofl

Go to a zoo and find an exhibit that has >20 animals in it. Go on a day where it's partially sunny and partially cloudy. Your hypothesis, should you choose to accept it, is that animals are more active in the sun and less active when it's cloudy.

You will have to find a way to quantify what constitutes "active" though. Moving around a lot, or making their animal calls (e.g. bird chirps, etc) are two things you could use.

Even if you only have 10 subjects though, if you make it interesting enough that'll be a better project than you might otherwise be able to do in the next couple days.

You can even just do phototaxis instead of activity.
Hypothesis would be the more light that is out the more animals likely to be out. Depending when/how many times you go/the weather you can even make a statement that the more light out the more the animals were out. However to a point which was related to the heat, which as it drastically increased the animals sought for shelter.

Study the behavior of humans, lol..

But seriously, study the behavior of a tardigrade in a vacuum.
