Grades 9-12. Students observe examples of competition, predation, parasitism, and symbiosis. First, they explore predation as they observe Stentor protozoa prey upon Chilomonas. Next, they observe Amoeba and Stentor as they compete for the Chilomonas food source. Students then extract gut contents of termites and examine protozoan symbionts. Lastly, students study the parasitic relationship between WOWBugs and Sarcophaga larvae. Kit accommodates a class of up to 32 students working in pairs.
