The hypothesis is that the scent of a cat will cause a mouse to be slower in finding its food.

You will make a maze using cardboard, glue, and masking tape, and place a sunflower seed at the end. Then, you will drop the mice one at a time into the maze and time how long it takes them to find the food.

You will need 10 white mice, a packet of sunflower seed, cardboard or old carton boxes, scissors, masking tape, glue, a stopwatch, a meter-length ruler, and a cloth soaked in cat urine.

The results of the experiment showed that the smell of the cat's urine did not have any effect on how quickly the mice were able to complete the maze.

This science project is interesting because it tests the traditional belief that cats can scare away mice.

To further explore this topic, it might be interesting to observe whether the sound of a cat (instead of its scent) will produce different results. Another variation could be to use wild mice instead of domesticated ones.

Hey there! Here are some awesome videos about this science project that we think you'll really like. They're not only super fun, but they'll also help you learn more about the science behind the project. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have some fun!!
