Abstract
As global climate change is predicted to lead to substantial increases in temperature, tractable experiments to demonstrate the importance of temperature on biological systems are becoming increasingly important. This experiment includes monitoring the duration of bean beetle embryogenesis at various constant temperatures and testing for significant differences under different temperatures.
