Bird Beak Lab Report (Due Thurs 4/25)
Analysis:
-1) Discuss your hypotheses. Were you correct or incorrect and why?
-2) Analyze the BIG data. Look at the Total Class Averages for BOTH the clips/beaks and the beads/food. And discuss why you think these results happened.
-3) Analyze the small data. Look at the inside of the chart and look at outliers/extremes and patterns.
-4) Discuss possible variables and errors that could have arisen in the experiment.
Conclusion:
-Restate your general findings of the experiment.
-Explain how the experiment could have been designed or done better.
-Relate the experiment to Darwin’s findings with finches. What does this tell us about evolution?
