Earthworms Ingesting Caffeine
Hello, I am looking to experiment with caffeine and its effect on earthworms. However I am struggling with the idea of how I will get the earthworm to ingest the caffeine so that I can see the results. Please help and thank you.

Re: Earthworms Ingesting Caffeine
Hello KDTheScientist11,
The ScienceBuddies projects has this project to explore the effect of different diets on earthworms:

One of the suggested diets is coffee grounds! The project also gives some useful ideas for setting up the feeding as well as how to measure the effects of the different diets. You might want to consider using several different diets with different amounts of coffee grounds. Let us know if this helps and if you have more questions!
