Thanks Nicholas, this is a really interesting concept that you have explored. This was a tricky experiment to conduct a fair test each time, you have done well. Your project is easy to follow and has good structure. It was pleasing to see that you have tried to back up your findings with research.

 * Student Comment:**

**Good start to Science Fair Nicholas, be explicit e.g. how many times will you expose your cat to different types of music and for how long. Will you do this at the same time each day & only one piece of music a day or one after the other. You need to keep as many variables the same as possible.**

Introduction: I want to see if my cat behaves differently when listening to music and if so which genres of music.

Aim: Which genres of music will change the behavior of my cat.

Hypothesis: I think that the behavior of my cat will change when it is listening to all genre of music. I think that it will be nice and sleepy when I am playing Jazz and Lullabies and be mean and vicious when playing Rock and Heavy Metal.

Equipment: Music e.g Heavy Metal, Jazz, Blues, Hip Hop, Classic, Country and Pop Ipod Cat Log book

Method: 1. Put the cat into a closed room. 2. Play one type of music and observe then record behavior changes. Do this for every music type. 3. Set the volume so it is not to quiet or to loud. 4. Do it again to make sure it is not a random movement.
