Students tested the strength of the Bess Beetle's legs this week. They attached a harness and had the beetles pull paper clips.
Before they started they weighed their beetle to determine its mass. After performing the investigation students came to the conclusion that not only could they pull their own weight, but they could pull more than ten times their weight. Students made the connection that the beetles have strong legs to pull and push wood in their habitat.
