Our goal in this experiment is to determine the effects of temperature on slime mold plasmodium form. Specifically, we will be using the slime mold Physarum Polycephalum as a test subject. This will carried out through the utilization of an ice bath to reach a temperature of 0ºC, and a hot plate to reach temperatures of 40ºC, 50ºC, 60ºC, and 70ºC. A control experiment at room temperature will also be performed. Physarum Polycephalum plasmodium form and spacing will be assessed after 2.5 hours.
