1 Think about the experiments these scientists are doing to test animal intelligence. What were they?
Dog
Cuddlefish
Dolphin
Parrot

5. What are their independent and dependent variables in each animal “experiment?”
Dog
Cuddlefish
Dolphin
Parrot

6. What do they do to make sure they are getting accurate results?
Dog
Cuddlefish
Dolphin
Parrot

7. Experiments scientists did to test animal intelligence:
Dog changed stuffed animals if she was
able to get the correct
animal
Dolphin changed “signs”/create… Understand/Communicate
what sign said
Cuddle fish (squid) changed patterns how it camouflages itself
Parrot (McCaw?) Alex Changed shapes,
size, # …
If she said the correct response
