5. Put the house in a tree at
Zasqua, and put the food in
the bird feeder, each with the
same weight.
6. Each day, we will measure
the weight of both types of
food that we’ve selected, and
record the answer in the
chart.
7. When we finish recording,
we will compare and contrast
the results of both types of
food, respond our question,
see if our hypothesis was
correct, and we will present
the results to the class.
Data Analysis and
Conclusions:
In science class, we tested what
birds prefer eating between corn
and banana on a experiment.
We had thought that Zasqua
birds would eat more corn than
banana because the banana
would rot very quickly. That was
our hypothesis, and we saw that
our experiment supported it. The
claim is that Zasqua birds prefer
corn more than banana. The
evidence to support this claim is
that the birds ate on average 20
gr. of corn, and 15 gr. of banana.
When you see this results, you
see that more birds ate corn than
banana. On the first two days
of recording, both types of food
had decreased the same amount,
but in the third day, the corn
had decreased a little more. The
data explains the amount of food
birds had eaten in grams (gr.).
We think the results explain that
Zasqua birds like corn better
than banana. The factors that
caused the experiment to have
this result we think are because
the bird feeder was at the bottom
of a big tree in Zasqua. Also, in
Zasqua there are some types of
birds that have some preferences,
so if we put the bird feeder in
Cartagena, the results would
have changed. Additionally, we
think that it was because the type
of bird feeder, a feeder with no
walls and a roof. Finally, we think
the banana decomposed quicker
than the corn, and that affected
birds liking it. We could have
done a better bird feeder, that
would be more stable. Also, we
should have thought on the first
time we tried the experiment to
bring normal corn, because when
we went to measure the other
day, both corn and banana were
rotten; so we needed to repeat it.
This results help me to find out
the preferences of Bogota’s birds,
and we could use this knowledge
for serving a certain type of food
on my house bird feeder. If we
needed to do another experiment,
we would ask this question: What
de birds prefer, bread or seeds?
