Squirrel Monkey By Rashaun ,Anthony ,Sheila and Narcy
Topic • The monkey has a pose able thumb. • They are Latin squirrel monkeys • They eat fruits, flower and insects • Lives in a tropical rain forest • Life span 5 months they grow up quickly
Exit project question • How much time does a Squirrel monkey spends swinging compare to other activities?
Hypothesis • If we observe the Squirrel monkey during the day for 40 minutes we think it would be grooming , eating , playing and resting • We think that this monkey will swing because that what it did the last time at the zoo also because they have appose able thumbs. Also the tail is a good helper with swinging.
Experiment Design • Pencil • Ethogram Chart • Squirrel Monkey • Timer
Procedure • Material ,timer, pencil, echograms, chart, and monkey • Go to the monkey house in the zoo • Observe the monkey behavior and make tally mark on the echograms observing every 5 minutes for 40 minutes to answer the experiment question. • Come back to school and analyze and study the data
conclusion • Conclusion: • The Squirrel monkey did not swing as much we thought it will do. • But certain behaviors certain behavior it did a lot.
Was my hypothesis correct • Incorrect • We thought that the Squirrel monkey • Was going to swing more • Than anything else of their behavior. • But they swing for 6% of the time
Sources of error • If we write something down and it’s wrong. • If one of our partner erase something important. • If we made a mistake on putting to much check on the ethogram and it is different from the other group member’s
Future experiment • What do they eat the most insects or fruits? • What behaviors can it do in 30 minutes ?
