CBSEENEN10000016

What was the project for Ebright eighth grade?

Solution

Losing in the county science exhibition in his first participation, Richard realized that he would have to do a real experiment to win it in the coming year. On Dr Urquhart's suggestions, he tried to find the cause of a viral disease that kills nearly all monarch caterpillars every few years. He thought that the disease may be carried by a beetle. So, he tried raising caterpillars in the presence of beetles. But he could not prove it. This time in the county science exhibition  he showed how he had attempted the experiment. He won the exhibition.
