What is it?-
A planarian is a flatworm that can regenerate its body parts if it gets cut. They can live in saltwater and freshwater rivers and ponds. Planarians are about the size of your fingernail, but can be cut into roughly 290 pieces.
Our project-
During this project, we studied planarians for a few days then we began making our cuts on our planarians. I cut mine in half horizontally and I predicted that there would be two small ones, but I ended up having 3 planarians (one big one and two small ones) total and they stayed alive , while most other students' planarians died.
