The passalide‚ also known as the Bess beetle‚ are reported to be able to carry 30 times their weight. A scientist names Rodger Kram studies these beetles. But really how strong is the Bess beetle? Does beetle mass seem to affect a beetles pulling power? A way to observe this is by conducting an experiment to see how many pennies beetles of diverse masses can pull. If the beetle mass is related to the beetles pulling power‚ then a beetle with more mass will have a higher pulling power. Materials

The people’s car – generically‚ Volkswagen in German – is almost as old as the automobile‚ and the type was familiar in Germany long before the advent of the Volkswagen. Usually these “popular” cars were minimal cars‚ though size and simplicity did not necessarily bring them within the reach of the ordinary man in the street. Henry Ford did build a successful universal car‚ to sell at a low price‚ but his Model T with its 2.9-litre engine was by no means a small

this experiment‚ the effectiveness of biological control is tested using lady beetles and aphids. Lady beetles are predaceous coleopterans that feed primarily on aphids (order hemiptera). Aphids feed on a plethora of plants including peach‚ plum‚ and apricot. Aphids are also vectors of plant disease. Eight replicates were conducted. In each replicate a lady beetle is places in a petri dish with aphids; 3 lady beetles are placed in a dish with aphids; and insecticide was used against the aphids.

Results and discussions The experiment was conducted in order to determine the activity of plant extracts on the adult and last larval instar of T. confusum. In all cases‚ considerable differences in insect mortality were shown with different plant extract‚ different concentration at the same exposure period 24 hrs. The 24 hrs bioassay is a major tool for evaluating the toxicity of phytotoxins‚ and a number of researches have been applying this method to assess the toxic effect of different plant
