My Topic is guinea pigs. I’m working with Eric on this project. I chose this topic because I like guinea pigs a lot. I thought guinea pigs are very interesting.
My question is, “How fast does it take a guinea pig to go through a maze with food at the end? I thought of this question when I saw a guinea pig. Also I thought of it when I read a book about guinea pigs I think this will be an interesting topic.
I learned a lot about guinea pigs from my investigation. I learned that guinea pigs like to eat radishes. Guinea pigs are also related to caveys Domestic guinea pigs are bigger than caveys though. I think guinea pigs are very interesting creatures.
To finish my project I needed 5 steps. First, I got information on guinea pigs. Next I built a maze. Then I got some food so the guinea pig would go through faster. Later I tried putting the guinea pig through the maze without food. Finally I was finished my investigation.
From this investigation I learned it took 4 minutes 5 seconds without food and 1 minute 30 seconds with food. Also I learned that a guinea pig goes through faster with food. Also I learned that a guinea pig goes through a lot slower without food at the end. I discovered a lot about guinea pigs after studying guinea pigs.
For next year students could make a bigger maze to go through, or maybe they could try to make the maze a lot harder for the guinea pigs. Also they could try to put all different kids of food at the end of the maze. We have learned a lot about guinea pigs but there is still a lot more to learn about these interesting creatures.
