The CONCLUSION:
● make sure to mention that our scientific hypothesis was wrong and restate it
● Our scientific hypothesis:
● FOUR sentences max.
Explain why the outcome is interesting. Don’t assume it’s obvious.
Briefly summarize the key findings of the study, including any significant trends or patterns observed.
Based on the results, what can be concluded about hummingbird feeding preferences and their response to varying sugar concentrations?
Are there any recommendations or implications for future research, conservation efforts, or practical applications based on the findings?

Title: Hummingbird Feeder Preference Based on Sugar Concentration
Objective: To investigate if hummingbirds exhibit a preference for a specific sugar concentration in feeder solutions.
Our scientific hypothesis was that Hummingbirds will prefer Feeder C with 50% sugar concentration, spending the highest average time at this feeder compared to Feeder A with 10% and
Feeder B with 25% sugar concentration.
Materials:
● Three hummingbird feeders (Feeder A, Feeder B, Feeder C)
● Sugar water
● Measuring cups
● Stopwatch
Procedure:
1. Prepare sugar solutions for 3 feeder by dissolving the specified amount of sugar in water.
2. Hang the feeders at equal distances from each other and at a similar height in an area frequented by hummingbirds.
3. Record the number of hummingbirds visiting each feeder and the duration of their visits.
4. Rotate the positions of the feeders each week
5. At the end of the 3-week period, analyze the data to determine if there is a preference for a specific sugar concentration.
Read the experiment and come up with data for each day
Experimental Design:
● According to research, “It’s a well-known fact that hummingbirds are attracted to the color red—it’s the hue most hummingbird feeders are and the shade some retailers suggest coloring the sugar water mix to fill those feeders.”
1. Selection of Feeders: Three identical hummingbird feeders will be used for the experiment, labeled as Feeder A, Feeder B, and Feeder C. Each feeder will contain a different concentration of sugar solution:
● Feeder A: 10% concentration (1 tablespoon sugar: 1⁄2 cup + 2 tablespoons water)
● Feeder B: 25% concentration ( 1 tablespoon sugar: 1⁄4 cup water)
● Feeder C: 50% concentration ( 2 tablespoons sugar: 1⁄4 cup water)
2. Feeder Placement: The feeders will be placed in a garden or outdoor area that is known to attract hummingbirds. They will be hung at approximately the same height and width from each other to minimize any location bias. The feeders will be placed in a way that allows easy observation and access for the hummingbirds.
3. Observation Period: The study will span four weeks, with observations conducted daily in the morning. Each observation session will last for 15 minutes to ensure consistency in the data collection process.
4. Positional Bias: To prevent positional bias, the feeders will be rotated to different locations within the study area each week. This will help ensure that any observed preferences are not influenced by the specific location of the feeders.
5. Record the following data for each feeder:
● Number of hummingbirds that visit each feeder
● Duration of each visit (in seconds)
6. At the end of the 3-week period, analyze the data to determine:
● The total number of visits to each feeder
● The average duration of visits to each feeder
● The preferred feeder based on the total number of visits and/or the average duration of visits.
Hypothesis:
Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no difference in the preference of hummingbirds for different sugar concentrations.
Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): Hummingbirds exhibit a preference for a specific sugar concentration.
Bio Concepts Included:
● This experiment incorporates concepts of animal behavior, specifically the foraging behavior of hummingbirds in response to varying sugar concentrations.
Data Analysis:
● Calculate the total number of visits and average duration of visits for each feeder.
● Use statistical analysis (t-tests or ANOVA) to determine if there are significant differences in the
number of visits and duration of visits between the feeders.
● Determine if there is a preferred feeder based on the data.
Conclusion: The results of the experiment will provide insights into the feeding preferences of hummingbirds and contribute to our understanding of their foraging behavior.
Super sorry I forgot to add this: RESULTS:
Total Time Spent at Each Feeder:
– Feeder A: 60.88 seconds
– Feeder B: 108.81 seconds
– Feeder C: 30.25 seconds
Average Time Spent per Visit:
– Feeder A: 2.77 seconds
– Feeder B: 4.94 seconds
– Feeder C: 1.37 seconds
