My project was about how fast a singuler mouse vs a group of three mice to see if the would work together. I like to work with animals. My conclusin was that the singular moes was faster.I shows the team work kapabilitys in mice.
This is fantastic scientific work! You asked a clever question: Do mice solve mazes faster alone or in groups?—and designed a thoughtful experiment to find out. I was impressed by your strong sample size (18 mice!), your use of animal-safe paint to identify individuals, and your careful counterbalancing of conditions. Your data was clear: individuals finished faster than groups, which contradicted your hypothesis. But instead of being disappointed, you embraced the result and observed why—some mice were “slackers” who groomed instead of helping! That is exactly what real scientists do: follow the evidence wherever it leads. Your bonus question about learning shows even deeper curiosity. Outstanding work!
Great
