Skills Lesson: Interpreting Observations

Question 1 • (Rogowski)WCA 4321 Environmental Science 1st 9 weeks 26-27

Collin is conducting a study about chimpanzee communication methods. Which of the following note excerpts from his recent trip to the zoo would be good to include in his study?

Answer
A
Male chimpanzee sleeping in tree for an hour
B
Baby chimpanzee playing in tree branches for an hour
C
Female chimpanzee walks away when male chimpanzee approaches
D
Male chimpanzee eats bananas rather than vegetables during feeding time

Explanation

A study of chimpanzee communication should include observations that may show how one chimpanzee responds to another. The female walking away when the male approaches is an observable response to another chimpanzee’s behavior, so choice C is relevant. Sleeping, playing, or choosing one food over another does not directly provide evidence about communication methods.
