Possible Experiment With The Hairy Sea Cucumber
Sea Cucumber's have the unique ability to expel their internal organs when scared or angry. This is what my experiment would potentially be about.
Question: What makes a Sea Cucumber expel its organs faster, anger or fright?
Hypothesis: If a cucumber is frightened, then it will expel its guts faster than when it gets angry, because when it's angry, there isn't necessarily a threat to its life while fright is more likely to mean that.

Materials:
- A Hairy Sea Cucumber
- A predator of the Hairy Sea Cucumber
- An organism to make the Hairy Sea Cucumber Angry
- A camera
- A monitor for the reactions of the Sea Cucumber
- Emotional monitor
- Tank of salt water with sand on the bottom
- Timer/salt water
- Have somebody stand next to the tank of water with sand on the bottom.
- Place the sea cucumber in the tank.
- Place a predator of the Sea Cucumber in the tank next to the sea cucumber itself.
- Use the monitors to measure the emotions, and reactions of the Sea Cucumber.
- Time how long it takes to make the Sea Cucumber expel its insides.
- Clean up the tank.
- Repeat steps 1-5 with the organism to make the Hairy Sea Cucumber Angry.
