Background
C. Elegans are microscopic organisms that feed
off of a bacteria.
Too much of a good thing can affect it negatively,
negative effects can also be caused by too little of
this substance.
Due to the hue of the worms flesh we can see
directly how the substance affects it.
Normally iron stimulates growth in organisms
like C. Elegans.
 P.S. THERE ARE THINGS LIKE MICROSCOPIC BUBBLES
Purpose
To see how different concentrations of iron
affects the growth and reproduction of the C.
Elegans.
To see what affected the growth of the C.
Elegans, the temperature or the different
concentrations of iron.
Hypothesis/Problem
 Increasing the concentration of iron
will have a beneficial effect on the
C. Elegans and the effect will cause
them to grow and reproduce.
 How does increasing the
concentration of iron affect the
growth on the C. Elegans?
Materials
 8 50 mL test tubes
 Iron
 S. basil medium.
 Bacteria
 Microscope with attached camera and laptop
 C. Elegans (N2 Wildtype)
 Peptone
 Several Pipettes
 Petri dishes
 Labels
 Pens
Procedure
 Gather all materials.
Four test tubes contain peptone while the
other four didn’t contain any peptone, but all
contained worms and their designated iron
concentrations or lack there of.

D3 No Peptone
0 FeSO4 Normal FeSO4
2x FeSO4 3x FeSO4
Conclusion & Discussion
Our conclusion is that our different
concentrations of iron didn’t matter.
Many casualties in the worms were observed
but the one with peptone seemed to survive
more and so we present to you this:
