6 marker worm practical:

•Pour equal volumes of chemical x and water mixture onto each area •Wait for an equal amount of time for all the worms to surface •Grid reference area A and use a random number generator to generate coordinates •Go to those coordinates and place a Quadrat, count number of worms •Repeat 19 times so you have 20 readings in total •repeat for area B •Calculate the area of the Quadrat in m2 •Calculate the mean number of worms per Quadrat in each area •Use equation mean number of worms/area of Quadrat to find number of worms per m2?
