3rd period

2. My Scientific Question
What place does my hamster like best in her cage?

3. My Procedure
Every day after I get home from school at about 3:00 I will go into the main room where the hamster is at and check on where the hamster is with a piece of paper and pencil to write down where she was in her cage and it will go on for about 1 week. I will tally up where she was and then we will find out which place she likes the best

4. My Hypothesis
If I check where my hamster is everyday and tally it up then in the end I predict she will be under the wheel the most out of everything

5. My Variables *independent: wooden house,wheel,and compartment up top
*dependant: how many times she is in a certain place
*constant: same time of day same items in the cage

6. Conclusion
What place does my hamster like best in her cage? Everyday at 3:00 I go in and check where my hamster is and tally it up and see which place she likes best and do it for a week. She was in her top bin 5 out of 8 days she was under her wheel 2 out of 8 days and she was on her wheel 1 out of 8 days my hypothesis said that I thought she was going to be under her wheel the most but it was wrong she was in her top bin the most. I learned that my hamster loves to be in the top bin of her cage the most out of everything the errors that occurred where that I did not check on her the exact time time I set every time if I had to do it differently I would set an exact time and stay on it

7. Background
I wanted to do this experiment because when I would go to get my hamster out I would never know where to get her from so I decided that I would do an experiment to find out where she likes best
