Chicken Feeder Experiment

733 Words3 Pages

Through the ins and outs of this experiment, the goal was to see if hanging a chicken feeder on a hook decreased the amount of chicken feed that was consumed by birds. The question that was asked was “If a chicken feeder is hung off of a hook, then will the amount of chicken feed eaten by wild birds decrease?”, and the hypothesis is “if a chicken feeder is hung off of a hook then the amount of chicken feed eaten by wild birds decrease”. There were numerous variables and trials that had to take place for the experiment to perform as desired. The control group was the feeder that was at ground level, and this portion of the trial was tested seven times. The experimental group was the feeder that was not at ground level, but on a hook. The independent …show more content…

However, there were many interesting trends that took place. For example, the majority of feed leftover for all of the trials were between 450g, and 500g. The mean, or average amount of seed leftover is approximately 427.83g, the mode is 363g, and the median is between 473g, and 464g. A very negative trend was when, on day 12 or trial 6, there was 137 g of chicken seed leftover, which was extremely low, and due to overlooked reasons. For the feeder that was on the ground, the average amount of feed leftover was 472 g , and the amount of feed leftover on the hooked feeder was a shocking 383 g. Therefore, the overall average was 454 …show more content…

For example. In the last trail, the feeder on the hook attracted more birds than ever assumed. An appalling 363 g of chicken feed was consumed by wild birds, which was way more than anticipated, and there is also the fact that hardly any wild birds showed up for trials 1-5, but then for some reason, in the sixth tril, the birds came flying in one by one, until there were about 10 birds at the feeder, which is already multiple birds more than before. This was by far the most unexpected result that occurred. An unlikely, but possible explanation of why this may have occurred however, is because of the fact that they do not know the feeder is put out with food in it until they spot the chicken eating from it,but the chicken was locked up for this

Joshua Rabideau 11/10/2016 BIOL 380 – Lab: Monday Black-Capped Chickadee Foraging Habits There are numerous organisms and interactions occurring within any ecosystem. Many times, the interactions between organisms and habitats are based on the energy needs of the organisms. In this experiment, a null hypothesis that the Black-capped Chickadee forages on various trees at random. Upon data analysis of the gathered information, it can be determined that the Black-capped chickadee were not choosing foraging sites at random. The results of a chi square test gave a value of 19,890 which is significantly larger than the 16.812 value needed to void the null hypothesis with six degrees of freedom; the probability that this variation was due to chance is less than .01.

For instance, at the start of “Monsters Are Due On Maple Street,” Steve looks up into the sky and hears a roar, in which he concludes is a meteor. After hearing this, the neighbors believe that aliens caused the blackout, even though they betray each other in the end. Another example, when Les Goodman’s car works by coincidence, Charlie, a paranoid man, infers that Goodman, “always was an oddball. Him and his whole family.” This inference causes the crowd to conclude that Les caused the whole blackout, turning them turn against each other.

Williams-forson situates her work in the intersection of race; gender and identity arguing that the kinds of food people eat are the key aspects of the cultural identities they are associated with. She draws a comparison in his work regarding the black people’s food preferences and argues that they have been engaged in ideological wars concerning food and race for so long. Williams-forson presents her idea that the cultural aspects of African American people is the key reason why a man should take a big piece of chicken since in most families they are the sole bread winners and are therefore entitled to a large portion of any delicacy cooked in such family. She associates her work on African American food ways with the African cultural heritage

The insightful story, “The Invisible Gorilla,” demonstrates how we see our world and what we don't see. “ There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.” – Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard’s Amanack (1750). This book gave many examples, many characters, and many experiments on our intuition. Scientist and professors came together to form experiments on understanding everyday illusions and to simply recognize them.

With behavioral psychology, the environment would be the determinant of the observable behavior. In the case with the chicken, the environment would be the road, what is on it, what is on the other side of the road, and anything else within sight of the area. The observable behavior would be the chicken crossing the road. There could be many reasons why the chicken would be crossing the road, such

To do this, I must trim the claws of some sun bears to make their claws shorter. I will be dividing the sun bears into two different categories, which are long-clawed and short-clawed sun bears, to observe the effectivity of claw length. Trimming the claws will not harm the animal since the claws grow back quickly. The claw length is the controlled variable in this experiment since it is a significant attribute I will be using for my observations, and it will maintain consistency in my data. Both the long-clawed and short-clawed sun bear will be put in the same environment to observe behavioural changes and overall fitness.

Students who earned below 70 percent will be in the experimental group. Below a 70 percent is a lower average grade. This group of students is in the experimental group because they are part of the hypothesis. This group is needed to look at to learn about the male professor’s sections of the chemistry course. The control group is the students that earned 70 percent or higher in the course.

In this experiment, most ants came to the honey. The results turned out as they did because the background research states the ants like sugary foods. This is why the results turned out as they did. The data relates to the hypothesis. The hypothesis stated that most ants will come to the honey.
