Forkbirds

Question: Which forkbird is the most effective eater?

IV: Time

DV: Number of forkbirds

Hypothesis: If I test different types of forkbirds then the forkbird with the 4-tined will eat the most cheerios becaue it can hold and get more cheerios in it's beak.

Data Analysis: media type="custom" key="11839644" The line graph was the best choice to represent the data because it shows change over time. Since we tested generations of forkbirds, the line graph showed best the data we collected.

DSET:
 * My claim is that the 4-tined fork-bird is the most effective eater.** When we tested the forkbirds, 4-tined forkbird was the most effective eater out of all of the others. //In the line graph, when we started out, the 4-tined fork-bird at Generation One was 6 and then increased to 11 in Generation Ten. The other fork-birds ( one-tined and two-tined ) started out at 6 and 8 in Generation One and then were at 3 and 7 in Generation Ten. B//ecause of the different size "beaks" that the fork-birds had, that affected the amount they could get. The 4-tined fork-bird had a bigger beak so it was able to get more than the others. In real life, birds have different size beaks depending on what they eat. If a bird had a big beak, they would be able to eat big things (toucan) like nuts, or if the bird had a small beak (humming bird) they would eat small things like nectar.

4. After the fork-birds diet changed to blueberries, I think the fork-bird population will decrease because their beaks are made for grabbing cheerios. If the beak is made for grabbing cheerios then the blueberries would be difficult to eat because they are soft and bigger. The blueberries might roll off of their beaks and fall to the ground also, the blueberries might be to big for the fork-birds small mouth since the blueberries are bigger than the cheerios. Since they will have many difficulties eating the blueberries then they will eventualy starve and die as a species.

5. -I think Natural selection is when a animal naturaly selects its habitat according to its adaptations.
