This is my second action project for my population class. This unit was about the evolution of animals and learning how to find data. For this action project I chose ten different cats that I researched and gathered data on them. Then I chose three of those cats and hypothetically put them in a place hey don’t naturally live. I made a video to explain what would happen if I were to put them there. My favorite part of this project was seeing all the cats that I researched as well as their awesome names.The biggest problem I had while making this project was having to work with the video without looking at the script. I ended up putting the script in the slideshow and just use it as subtitles, and I’m happy that it turned out pretty well.
India is a very interesting place, and it’s beaches can be even more interesting. Their beaches contain a large amount of wildlife, and it has an extremely warm climate. The beaches are covered in soft sand, grass, and saltwater. Wildlife in this area includes many predators like sharks, tigers, and especially snakes. For a species to live here they need to be able to fend for themselves against other species, and they need to be able to know how get fresh water. They also need to know what food is good to eat, and how to make a good shelter. Larger animals would thrive in this environment, while smaller animals are more at risk of becoming prey. A large threat for organisms would be insects since they are likely to carry diseases. House cats do not naturally live in this area but I think it would be interesting to see how they would adapt to this possibly harsh environment.

I researched ten different house cats from Paws Chicago and recorded data on them.
Crux- 9.94 lb
Gelada- 7.13 lb
Starburst- 2.24 lb
Hawking- 6 lb
Chorizo- 3 lb
Tzatziki- 4 lb
Fig- 7.56 lb
Cupertino- 3 lb
Roseanne- 14 lb
Jessco- 10.63 lb
Of these ten cats I chose Starburst, Hawking, and Roseanne to be moved from their foster homes to an Indian beach. I chose them because they represent the minimum, median, and maximum weights of my data.
I found the average weight of the ten cats I chose as well as the maximum, minimum and range.
Numbers: 2.24,3,3,4,6,7.13,7.56,9.94,10.63,14
Mean: 6.75
Median: 6.57(rounded)
Mode: 3
Max:14
Min: 2.24
Range: 11.76
After finding the average weight of the cats, I created a “Box and Whiskers” plot to find the lower and upper quartiles.
Lower quartile: 3.25
Median: 6.57
Upper quartile: 9.34
