In turn, the results of these experiments have direct application to human-caused environmental disruptions that cause changes in species distribution and indirectly increase the recognition that environmental chemicals affect human health.
Using the red worm, a familiar live species that is amenable to classroom experimentation, students learn how environmental agents affect the animal’s locomotion by altering sensory neuron–muscle interactions and, as a result, influence its distribution in nature. It is designed to incorporate environmental health and ecological concepts into the basic biology or environmental-science content of the high school curriculum. We have developed an experimental module that introduces high school students to guided scientific inquiry.
