Okay, so in biology, we've been dealing with termites. These things are tiny, and you can often try to manipulate them. We drew a pattern like this on our paper:
Then we put a termite on the pattern, and watched what it did. If it went a direction we didn't want it, we put a cotton swab in it's path to make it go another way. We did this experiment twice, too.But what's with today's title? Well, our third experiment was to make our own experiment using termites. Me and Jim did a lab write-up, and this is what it looks like:
Title: Can Termites Read?
Question: Can a termite read an important message and not kill himself?
Hypothesis: Probably not.
Procedure:
1. On the piece of paper, write:
"Step on the X and you will die."
2. Draw a really big "X" near it.
3. If the termite steps on the "X", take a hammer and smash it's guts out.
Observations: He got smashed.
Conclusion: I was right. Termites can't read.
Well, my teacher didn't approve, and gave me an "F-Minus-Minus-Minus-Minus-Minus..."
Darn it, another FAIL! This time, Dad was angry, and took my video games away for a week. But why oh why did my teacher give me an "F"? Isn't anyone interested in whether termites can read or not?
THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW.
That's it for this episode.

Actually, it sounds like the world DOES know, thanks to the tireless research of Rodney & Jim Laboratories!
That was hilarious!!! I would have given you an A. What is this country coming to when a teacher doesn't appreciate good science?
