Black+Footed+Cat+Science+Fair+Project

﻿I am currently working down at the Red Barn with the keepers on my science fair project. I am working with another student from the Zoo Academy on this project, we are working with the Black Footed Cats of Africa. The cats we are currently working with is an adult male and three female year old kittens, who are the daughters of the male we are working with.



As we worked on this project we had our ups and downs. The first batch of blood sickles we had made before Winter Break was ruined from us not being there and from the dirt, snow and peafowl. Well after coming back and finding out that our first batch of a dozen or so blood sickles was ruined. We started making only the amount that we needed for the project itself for that week. After trying 4 or 5 trials. We came to the conclusion that since we did Pescivore versues Carnivore, that carnivore was preferred by the cats than the fish. As we entered the Metro Junior Science Fair that took place at Lauritzen Gardens in Omaha, my partner and I did not place but we recieved Honorable Mention for participating in the science fair. I put this science fair project under the Effective Communicators section of the 21st Century Skills for Success.
