This document outlines an experiment to study the behavior of Paramecium in response to different solutions. Materials needed include a Paramecium culture, clean slides, and dilute solutions of sugar, salt, and vinegar. Drops of the Paramecium culture and each test solution are placed on a slide and observed under a magnifying glass to see if the Paramecium move toward or away from the test solutions, with observations recorded.

To study the behaviour of Paramoecium to different solutions
MATERIAL REQUIRED
Paramoecium culture.
Clean slides.
Dilute sugar, salt solution, dilute
vinegar.
Droppers
sugar
solution
salt

dilute
vinegar
Paramoecium
culture
2. Place a large drop of Paramoecium culture medium on clean slide.
Observe the drop for the random movement of Paramoecium
using magnifying glass (hand lens)
3. dilute sugar
solution
Paramoecium
culture
Place a drop of dilute sugar solution next to culture.
Connect them through a small bridge using a small stick.
Wait for a minute or two and observe for the movement.
If they move towards sugar solution note down the reaction with a + mark.
Using salt and vinegar solutions repeat the experiment and
record your observations
