*N.F. means the group wasn't done collecting data for Day 2

Based on the data collected from each groups measurement of the pulse rate of the blackworms,I individually added each groups pulse rate from Day 1 and Day 2 and divided by the number of minutes(10) to find the mean.Then I added each average from each group for each test subject: A,B.and C and calculated the total average for each test subject.Test Subject A is to be considered Depressant with a total pulse rate average of 279.2.Test Subjected B is to be considered Normal with a total pulse rate average of 291.1.Test Subject C is to be considered Stimulant with a total pulse rate average of 296.6.Column A is Depressant because the worms showed a reduction in activity and were less responsive.Column B is Normal because the worms demonstrated a steady pulse rate with no interferences.Column C is Stimulant because they increased their alertness and energy.Due to the increase in worm activity,counting the pulse rate was more difficult from their nervous reaction when they were placed in a small compartment and a light almost boiling them to death.
