We recorded things that we noticed about the isopods in our container, using everything from drawings to descriptions to measurements. We could observe fine details with the magnifying lenses.
Some people already knew about isopods and others used the internet to do research.
Many people recorded information about the physical structure - 6-7 pairs of legs on a segmented body with an exoskeleton. Others focused on behaviors such as light avoidance and rolling or not rolling. 
We shared our observations and questions with others around the room, learning more about isopods from these conversations and a trade book: A Pill Bug's Life, by John Himmelman.
