Description
Students investigate the efficiency with which developing butterflies incorporate their food into their body mass. Painted lady larvae, representing a primary consumer, feed on a medium that represents a primary producer. Students track the amount of medium consumed over time by measuring the mass of a control cup and a cup containing larvae or chrysalises. Students then graph their data, analyze the results, and calculate efficiency. Kit provides materials for 15 student groups.
