First Dosage of Ephedrine on Worms

We chose Ephedrine as our treatment for the Lumbricus variegatus. We chose this because we were interested to find out if it had the same effects on the worms as it does on humans. It contains methamphetamines and amphetamines which we knew athletes used to try to get an advantage in sports, and we were curious as to how it would effect the worms. We ran our first tests today, and recorded results. We had previously hypothesized that our Lumbricus variegatus pulse rate would raise. And we were correct in our assumption, as the pulse rate doubled and even tripled in one case as compared to our control group. We expect this trend to continue throughout our tests, as we continue to expose our Lumbricus variegatus to 10% molarity.

Initial Research on Lumbriculus variegatus

This site contains some really cool facts about the California Blackworm. In our Biology class, we will be giving these worms different treatments and observing their blood flow and pulsation rate. The treatment that my group and I will be using is Ephedrine.

HCOP So Far..

The most valuable thing I learned during my first week at HCOP would probably be how to take notes efficiently during class. In high school, I was not required to take notes during any of my classes. Now, after getting a little taste of what my college courses will be like, I realize that acquiring good note-taking skills is vital to success in college. Note-taking is not as easy as it sounds either. I've learned that a good note-taker picks out the main points and ideas in each lecture, with several references to possible test questions. With this in mind, I hope to put these techniques to good use next year.

We will be administering our Lumbriculus variegatus with Ephedrine. This contains amphetamines and methamphetamines. It should boost the pulse rate of the Lumbriculus variegatus.
