__Experiment__ Title: Do different sound frequencies affect pillbugs navigating a maze? __Hypothesis__ We think that the different frequencies may distract the pillbugs and make them disoriented or possibly help them focus on the task at hand __ Supplies __ __Procedure__ __Purpose__ __Data__ __(We weren't able to make a graph)__ __Analysis__ The pillbugs did not seem to be affected the sound at all. T here's no pattern to the times we recorded from the runs of the pillbugs __Conclusion__ Pillbugs' navigation abilities are not affected by sound frequencies __Limitations__ 1. We were pressed for time 2. We didn't have speakers that could handle much higher or lower frequencies __ Citation __
 * Miles Howley & Alex Evans. 7th hour.**
 * 1) 2 Speakers
 * 2) 6 pill bugs
 * 3) 1 pill boxe
 * 4) Maz
 * 5) Plant matter
 * 6) Music Player
 * 7) Stopwatch
 * 8) Calculator
 * 1) Place 1 pillbug in start of maze
 * 2) Choose 1 sound frequency (We chose 400hz, 1.4khz, 2.4khz, 3.4khz, and 4.4khz as the frequencies we would use)
 * 3) Each pill bug should go through the maze 5 times, each time a different frequency will be played (2 pill bugs will go through the maze without any sound playing)
 * 4) Time the run of each pill bug
 * 5) Average times from each pattern
 * 6) Averages should show which pattern(s) affected the pill bugs the most if they did at all
 * 1) Our purpose is to find evidence of whether or not an insect’s (Our experiment pertains to pill bugs specifically) navigating ability is affected by sound. This sort of experiment could be relevant in the real world if the insect’s behavior is affected because we could possibly use this to “control” insects. Are you going to create an insect militia? And on a more serious note, what pitch/tone would the music be, and what kind? That //could// have a decent effect on the insects' behaviors. (Scott N)

What type of maze will you use? Are you timing the insects? How will you quantify your data? (Mr. Kerwin)

What kind of vibration patterns will you use? (Vega 1/7/12)
