What affects one segment of the living world affects all others directly or indirectly. Students will conduct a lab investigation. Students will make use of the Internet to do research. Using On-line resources, students will gather information as to how global warming will affect human health. Students will observe mosquito larvae under three different temperature environments.
Many mosquito genera are disease specific.
Malaria, dengue and yellow fevers and encephalitis are examples. This investigation attempts to study the effect of water temperature on the rate of development of mosquito pupa. It is not advisable to collect any mosquito larva locally so as to avoid the possibility of breeding or accidentally releasing mosquito already carrying disease. There is no need to feed the pupae. They only will feed after they emerge as mosquitoes.
