100.06 - Worm Science Project - Grades K-8

Baitman Science Project:

Science

Project : for School.

Grades K-8 and

Great Prizes from

The BAITMAN....

EXPERIMENT:

How to Determine the Weight of A Worm:

WHAT SUPPLIES YOU WILL NEED:

1. One Fish

2. One Worm

3. Scale

4. Bucket of Water

5. Small Box of Fish Food

*** Note: No Hooks or lines needed in this experiment.

HOW TO CONDUCT THIS SCIENCE PROJECT:

You are trying to determine how much a "Worm" actually weights and your Test Documentation will be entered into the Baitman Science Fair.....

First, you need a good Fish. You may select any favorite type of Fish that you like. It may be Big or Small as long as it will fit in the Bucket. A Live Fish would be Best, but you may also select from the Fish Counter at Farmer Jacks.

Here's where the SCALE is very important. If you are using a Live Fish...weigh it on the Scale and record the number. It is advised to lightly "burb" the Fish to remove the water for a more accurate reading. If you got your Fish from Farmer Jacks, you can simply record the "weight" from the Package. Note: The "Price per lbs" does not affect this experiement, so pick the Cod instead of the Salmon to save some money.

Select One Healthy Worm and set aside. Do not put the worm on the Scale. Doing this will defeat the purpose of the whole experiment and you will end up not learning anything from this Project.

Fill your Bucket with One Gallon of Water....Do not use Salt Water, as that will give false readings. Now add a One Ounce Box of Fish Food to the Water.

Now add your Fish to the Bucket (Document Weight First)... Now throw in the WORM, Let the Fish consume all of the Food and the Worm. If you are using a Farmer Jack Fish, just stuf the Worm and Food into it before putting into the Bucket.

HOW TO CALCULATE RESULTS:

After One Hour, remove Fish from the Bucket and place back on the Scale. Record this weight, but make sure that you have "Burped" the Fish first. Compare the weights of the Before and After Fish, and subtract the One ounce for the Fish food......

Congratulations.... the difference is the Actual Weight of the WORM.
