Ever wondered what animals are curious about? In this science project, we explore the curiosity of a monkey, dog, cat and mouse. We'll observe their reactions to different objects and see what they're attracted to.
Hypothesis
The hypothesis is that the monkey, cat, dog and mouse are attracted to shiny objects such as Christmas ornaments.
Method & Materials
You will observe the animals' reactions to different objects, such as a plastic mirror, a stuffed doll, shiny Christmas ornaments, a red rubber ball and a blue rubber ball.
You will need a monkey, a dog, a cat, a mouse, a plastic mirror, a stuffed doll, shiny Christmas ornaments, a red rubber ball and a blue rubber ball.
Results
The results showed that all of the animals were attracted to the shiny Christmas decorations. The monkey didn't care for the stuffed doll or the balls, while the dog only took to the shiny ornaments and the balls.
Why do this project?
This science project is interesting because it explores the curiosity of animals, which is something that is often overlooked.
Also Consider
Variations of this experiment could include testing other animals such as birds, raccoons, and squirrels. Additionally, the experiment could be repeated using other items such as jewelry, toys, luminous items, and a torchlight.
