This is the question that Betty Martin endeavored to answer with her biology project for Mr. John son's biology class. In order to determine this factor, she constructed a T shaped box, about 18 inches long and 8 inches wide. At one end of the "T," she placed a portion of moist, soft earth. At the other end, she placed a square of rough sandpaper. The worm was stationed at the far end of the T. He crawled along to the place where the two ends forked, and was then given a choice of the dirt or the sand paper, At first, he chose the sandpaper; but as time wore on, he began to realize the dis comfort of the sandpaper and chose the soft earth. The experiment was repeated 18 times. Only 6 times did the worm choose tne sandpaper The reason, according to Bet ty, was not because he was thinking, but because he ac quired a conditioned reflex to stay away from the dirt. the School Jouralism Class Karen Schopf Kent Chamberlain Sally Stringer Linda Gray .
