What I learned with the roach experiment

We worked on our cockroach experiment this past week. Every table did a different experiment that they chose to work on. Our table (Andrew, Matt, Don and I) decided we would tie a fishing string around the roach's back and attach a piece of cardboard on the other end. The main test was to see how much the roach could pull. We used one ounce cubes to add to the cardboard one at a time to measure it. We started with one and eventually got to twenty one. We learned that coackroaches are strong and determined. Many of them have different personalities. We saw some that would barely move, but we luckily had one that was active and strong. When we tied the string around him, he was fiercly running and trying to go faster. If we had one that was slow and just bland, we wouldn't of been able to add that many one ounce cubes. It sort of acted like a truck like an 18 wheeler, the roach being the truck and the piece of cardboard being the cargo. I learned that cockroaches are strong and get angry easily.
