SET-UP

This science investigation will be using the following materials: the euphorbia milli, golden apple snails, piece of rice field, and beakers. The first thing to be done is the extraction of the euphorbia stem. Then the latex will be divided into three different concentrations by the addition of the water. there will be four set-ups: the first without any euphorbia extract solution, second with 75 percent euphorbia extract solution, third with 50 percent euphorbia extract solution, and the last with 25 percent euphorbia extract solution. This will be tested with the golden apple snails. A piece of land in the rice field will be divided into four columns. There the golden apple snail will be equally divided and the result will be observed overnight.

METHODOLOGY
The science investigation will take place in a ricefield. While the testing of the specie of the euphorbia and the golden apple snail will be in the University of the Philippines Los Banos.
The processes will be: Testing of the kind of specie. Extraction of the euphorbia to get the latex. Varying of the concentration of the latex. Applying the latex on the golden apple snail. Results.
In the testing of the kind of the material sample of the euphorbia plant will be brought in the UP Los Banos for testing and also the kind of the golden apple snails that are to be used. After the researchers knew the kind of the euphorbia and the kind of the snail, this will serve as one of the controlled variable in the set-up. Then the euphorbia which was already been classified will be extracted. The stems will be cut and the flowing latex will be got while the rest will be chopped and be extracted using the cheesecloth. The amount will then be divided into four groups; the first that will serve as the controlled variable while the rest will be the experimental systems. There will be 20 snails placed in each column of system. The result will be taken overnight.
