Students Measure Travel Distance Of Grasshoppers Grasshopper tracking Is the new project of Heppner Grade school seventh and eighth grad ers. Science classes of Mrs. Inez Meador decided to try measur ing the distance grasshoppers travel in a certain amount of time. Nearly 180 insects were band ed Friday, September 5. Tags bear the name of a student and their phone number. As the in sects are caught, the youngsters are asking that they be phoned and told the place and time of capture. The results of the experiment should show if the size of the grasshoppers makes any differ ence in distance traveled. There is no time limit on the project. so people are urged to call in results even if the insects are not caught for some time. Tags were put on In several ways. Each student banded In sects in his own way, hoping it would stay on long enough so it could be tracked. Writing is in pencil so it would not run if it rained. Some young people used tissue paper bound with scotch tape. Others used marked masking tape and still others tried gummed labels. The success of the project hinges on catching the grass hoppers and reporting the time and place found. The youngsters would appreciate any help they receive.
