Larvae worm

Submitted by scasimir on Fri, 01/25/2019 - 15:49

           Today in class, we were given a round plastic clear cup with a larvea worm I believe. It was smaller than normal size worm, with a yellowish color except the head was darker than the rest of the body. It also had two brown eyes at the back of it, with a round circle that has a whiteish color surrounded the circle. There were also woodships inside the cup. The enitre body of the worm was divided into segments, some were bigger and longer than others. It did not have any feet, tail, or hair on its body. It moves in a very distinct way, also it keeps on moving around the cup but did not go in the middle of the cup unless I flip the cup upside down or sideways. When it moves, it pulls the rest of its body closer to the head and repeats the same movement slowly. There was a long brownish color line inside the worm and when it moves, the line either gets smaller or longer, I believe it might be its spine.

           Today in class, we were given a round plastic clear cup with a larvea worm I believe. It was smaller than a normal size sized worm, with a yellowish color except the head was darker than the rest of the body. It also had two brown eyes at the back of it, with a round circle that has a whiteish color surrounded the circle. There were also woodships woodchips inside the cup. The enitre entire body of the worm was divided into segments, some were bigger and longer than others. It did not have any feet, tail, or hair on its body. It moves in a very distinct way, also it keeps on moving around the cup but did not go in the middle of the cup unless I flip the cup upside down or sideways. (run on sentence, so maybe break it up into two sentences). When it moves, it pulls the rest of its body closer to the head and repeats the same movement slowly. There was a long brownish color line inside the worm and when it moves, the line either gets smaller or longer, I believe it might be its spine. (Again maybe break this sentence into two, with the second one starting after the 'and')

 

This paragraph seems to be very descriptive...something that would belong in a results section of a scientific paper.  In these paragraphs, you should avoid saying "I believe" and statements similar to this, and just stick to the facts.  Your own thoughts/analysis should be included in a discussion section paragraph.

I would break "It moves in a very distinct way, also it keeps on moving around the cup but did not go in the middle of the cup unless I flip the cup upside down or sideways." into two different sentences. Specifically, "It moves in a very distinct way. It keeps moving around the cup but not into the middle of the cup unless I flipped the cup upside down or sideways."
