Testing what snails eat is always interesting! Put a snail in the middle of a plate surrounded by foodoptions(to make it a fair test have it equal distance to all options). Then observe what it eats and even how it eats.
I've seen them eat: lettuce, tomatoes, apple, kalamata olives, string cheese, melon, and pickles! I'm sure you could test just about anything.

Another eating related activity is to mix corn starch with water in your hand, put the snail in the "food" and then feel the snail's radula eating the corn starch.

Engelmann's experiment determined which wavelengths of light are most effective at causing photosynthesis In other words Engelmann measured?

Engelmann's experiment measured the rate of oxygen production by algae exposed to different wavelengths of light to determine which wavelengths are most effective at driving photosynthesis. He found that red and blue light were the most effective, with peaks in their absorption spectra correlating with peak photosynthetic activity.

What is an controlled experiment?

A controlled experiment is a scientific study in which all variables are kept constant except for the one being manipulated or tested. This allows researchers to determine the direct impact of the manipulated variable on the outcome. By controlling all other factors, the experiment can establish a cause-and-effect relationship between the manipulated variable and the observed results.
