A teacher collected some beetles from a rotting log
and placed them in a
container of dry oatmeal in
her classroom. She kept the
box covered with a light cloth
so that the beetles could not
escape. She also asked one
of her students to add
potato and apple pieces
once a week to provide food
and moisture for the beetles.
After several weeks, the
student reported that there
were some strange-looking,
wormlike organisms in the
container
