In the Biology class that I'm taking for the summer we are conducting an experiment on lumbriculus variegatus or, as it is more commonly known, the california blackworm. We choose a specific substance, such as a drug, and introduce the annelid (worm) into a small dose (roughly 1ml) of the solution. My lab group has choosen creatine as our substance. We have made a hypothesis, and will test it by measuring the effect that it has on the annelid's pulsation rate. Here is some of my initial research on the subject:
