I'm doing energy experiments with worms. Any energy type suggestions?:):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-):):-) :)

As in evaluating the energy budget of your typical worm? Or as in seeing if they squeal when you use a burning glass on them?

As in evaluating the energy budget of your typical worm:-)

I'd use a calorimeter.

 

You can test anything about the worms now: the heat of combustion, heat of vaporization ( I hope that the worms don't mind me suggesting this.)

 

... But I think you'll encounter problems when you want to measure the worm's vocal energy output (in dB) or the kinetic energy in full sprint (in Gigajoules/worm :D).

 

Good luck, and keep us up to date. Somebody might want to include the worms data in a handbook. You can become famous.
