Tested Studies in Laboratory Teaching, 1991, Volume 12
Abstract
Termites can be used as tools in the introduction of the scientific method. This exercise allows the student to simply and easily follow each step of the scientific method without the need for encumbering equipment and procedures. Each group of students is supplied with ballpoint pens of various colors and brands, paper, two or three termites, and a small brush to control strays. They are also given a handout which reviews the scientific method and guides them through each step. The only instructions given are to begin observation of termite behavior as the termites move about the paper, on which the students are encouraged to draw lines.
