A study to see how well a plush sloth can camouflage in simulated rainforest terrarium because of the growth of algae.
Interesting Sloth concept research. Keep it up!
This project clearly reflects your passion and genuine interest in science. It was wonderful to see your curiosity in action, and I hope you continue to build on this project in the future, it was a great concept. By the way I love sloths too!! Keep exploring the things you love.
How wonderful that you investigated something you love – that’s a great way to keep up your motivation. Nice job documenting the methods and data so precisely, which is important so that other investigators can replicate. I hope you get to spend time with a sloth some day!
I like the way you had many people observe your experiment to make the data more independent. Your idea is a very interesting way to explore our world. Keep sciencing!
You created an incredibly thoughtful and creative investigation into how a sloth might camouflage in a rainforest environment. Your terrarium setup, humidity and temperature control, and use of a visibility rating scale show advanced scientific thinking. Your data collection from 25 participants and your microscope observations were especially impressive. One way to make your project even stronger would be to calculate the average visibility score each week to show the trend more clearly. Overall, this is an outstanding and original project, excellent work!
