The recent lab experiment with the California black worms was more than interesting. Looking so closely to through the worms' body and seeing their blood flow made me feel cool.

So, our assignment was to figure out which group had a stimulant, depressant, and which was normal out of three groups of worms that was immersed in those solutions for a few weeks.

It was hypothesized that the stimulant would make the blood flow of the worms faster, the depressant would make the blood flow slower, and the normal solution would supposedly make the blow flow "normal".

Out of my lab group's experiment, I can conclude  that Group B had the solution of the stimulant. Group A, has the normal solution. And, Group C has the depressant.

As a class, we shared all ou data so we could also compare to see if our results would be similar to others. Majority had about the same kind of results where group B would have the larger quantity numbers compare to others while group A would have he least.

My lab group had come up with group A's results at 28, 28, 31, 33, and 27. Group B's results would be 33, 38, 34, 37, and 33. Group C had: 35, 24, 31, 29, and 32. Group A had an average of 24. Group B had an average of 28.2. Group C had an average of 23.8.

I believe that group C has the solution of the depressant because the average pulse of the worms was the least. Although nearly neck and neck with group A, the numbers don't lie. Surprisingly, us group members actually thought group A had the depressant because when we observed by eye, it seemed that the pulse was slower with them.
