The First thing we did was fill a small jar with 20 grams of silicon sand, a piece of Douglas wood, and 18 ml of water.
After that we added termites to the jar and observed them in each class, as the days passed the sand would begin to sink from the water that was put inside. The termites were beginning to chew on the wood but not fully yet. The sand would also move around a lot because of people moving the jar. After a while you could see that the termites were making a little progress in biting the wood.
I learned a lot from this termite unit, it defiantly got me prepared for the future if i ever start to see something that would concern me about having termites. My favorite part was doing the mark release recapture method and making the brochure. My least favorite part was looking at the protazoas.
