The density of a population of living organisms is usually measured in individuals on one square km. In here we have 50 earthworms on an area of 5 square meters, thus we have 10 earthworms on every square meter. In order to get to the result we need to see first how many square meters there are in one square km. One square km has one thousand meters of length and one thousand meters of width so:
1,000 x 1,000 = 1,000,000 km²
Since we established that we have 10 earthworms on every one square meter, we just need to multiply the number of square meters with the amount of earthworms on every square meter:
1,000,000 x 10 = 10,000,000
So we have a density of 10 million earthworms per square km.
The nettle animals. Corals, sea anemones and jellyfish belong to a group of animals called cnidarians (pronounced 'nid-air-e-ans'). ... With 1,048 marine species, cnidarians are one of the largest groups of invertebrates in New Zealand waters.
They could improve the experiment that they made by adding another variable such as: watering the plants with fresh water. This way they could have a better comparison how plants grow based on the type of water they are exposed with.
