Name(s):
Place (4) Planarian on (1) bacteria plate containing caffeine and mark initial gridlines (where the planarian are located)
with a sharpie on the top of the bacteria plate
Research Plan Template
Name(s):
Record the number of times the planarian cross the gridlines with 0,5,10, and 15 minute time increments
After the planarian have been exposed to caffeine for 24 hours remove the planarian from the bacteria plate
containing caffeine
Transfer the planarian to (1) bacteria plate containing no caffeine and record behavioral results (repeat step 2) and
note movement over gridlines
The decrease of movement after the 24 hour mark and transfer on plain bacteria plate depicts the addiction to
caffeine the planaria now have. Procede to part III if these are the results depicted by the planarian if not visi the

Continue with planarian used in Part II. Transfer planaria from the plain bacteria plate to (1) bacteria plate containing
the drug phenylethylamine
Record the initial location of the planaria as the first gridline then record the number of times the planaria cross the
gridline with 0,5,10, and 15 minute time increments
Analyze the data and continue monitoring the planaria until locomotive behaivor decreases
Record the behaivor of the phenylethylamine and compare to the following link to determine if the planaria are
experiencing withdrawals:

Feed the planarian a pea sized amount of egg yolk from a boiled egg and allow them to eat for 30 minutes. Change
the water after each feeding.
Repeat step 1 once every seven days
Keep the water temperature 21-23 degrees celsius
Keep the water clean and use a pipet to move the planarian when changing water
IF Applicable
Below are subject-specific guidelines for additional items to be included in your
research plan/project summary as applicable.
Human participants research:
a. Participants: Describe age range, gender, racial/ethnic composition of participants. Identify vulnerable populations
(minors, pregnant women, prisoners, mentally disabled or economically disadvantaged).
Research Plan Template
Name(s):
b. Recruitment: Where will you find your participants? How will they be invited to participate?
c. Methods: What will participants be asked to do? Will you use any surveys, questionnaires or tests? What is the
frequency and length of time involved for each subject?
d. Risk Assessment: What are the risks or potential discomforts (physical, psychological, time involved, social, legal,
etc.) to participants? How will you minimize risks? List any benefits to society or participants.
e. Protection of Privacy: Will identifiable information (e.g., names, telephone numbers, birth dates, email addresses)
be collected? Will data be confidential/anonymous? If anonymous, describe how the data will be collected. If not
anonymous, what procedures are in place for safeguarding confidentiality? Where will data be stored? Who will have
access to the data? What will you do with the data after the study?
f. Informed Consent Process: Describe how you will inform participants about the purpose of the study, what they
will be asked to do, that their participation is voluntary and they have the right to stop at any time.
