Cats Reaction to bird calls
By: Maureen Treynor
Mr. Gorden’s 5th prd. class

2. Question
How will two cats react to three bird calls?

3. Background
The reason why I’m choosing this as my project because my cats are the most useless things on the planet. When we started the Science Fair, I thought I could use my cats. Also, I wanted a unique idea for the Science Fair.
BIRD CALLS

4. Hypothesis
If one of the bird calls bore the cats, then the Northern Cardinal will bore them the most.

5. Variables Bird calls- Change Cats- Constant
Big room (that can echo)- Constant
Volume of the calls- Constant

6. Materials 2 cats A large room (that can echo) And bird calls
Flip Camera
Ipod Touch

7. Procedure Find cat one and lock him into a large room Play call one
Observe and record data
Play call two
Play call three
Repeat 1-7 for cat two

8. DATA Cats Call one reaction Call two reaction Call three reaction
Cat one
Looked up, meowed. Was Interested
Was Some what Interested.
Bored
Cat two
Looked up.
Bored.
Didn’t pay attention...AT ALL!

9. Conclusion
1. The question was: How will two cats react to 3 bird calls?
2. My experiment was to test their reaction. Will foreign bird calls attract them more? Or will familiar ones attract them more?
3. One of the cats was some what interested of what was going on. The other cat, not so much.
4. No, My data did NOT support my hypothesis. I thought familiar bird calls would bore the cats. They did not.
5. I learned that my cats don’t really care for foreign bird calls. They rather go crazy to what they are used to.
6. Next time not use a kitten. Cat two didn’t really care about anything.
