Choice Chamber

This four-compartment plastic choice chamber is a brilliant tool for exploring organism behaviour under varying environmental conditions. The transparent lid features a 15mm central hole, allowing easy observation of changes in activity. Students can manipulate variables such as light, moisture, or temperature across the compartments and track preferences in real time, supporting experiments in biology, ecology, and environmental science.

Educational Benefits:

• Demonstrates behavioural responses like phototaxis and geotaxis.
• Supports hypothesis testing and data collection in biology.
• Encourages observational and analytical thinking.
• Allows hands-on exploration of stimulus-response relationships.

Classroom Ideas:

• Test whether woodlice prefer moist or dry conditions.
• Observe insect movement in response to light vs. darkness.
• Record behavioural changes over time to identify trends.
• Conduct repeat trials and discuss data variability and reliability.
• Pair with microscopes or magnifiers for up-close observation.
