Assessment of Frog Jumping Presented by person A

Assessment of Frog Jumping(Presented by person A)

• Presented by
• Major Addington, Colonel Turner, General Brower
  and General Bunting

2
Questions Answered(Presented by Person A)

• To see how far a frog can jump, on average.

3
Introduction Frog Jumping Ability(Presented by
Person A)

• Why frogs jump.
• To move away from a frightening stimulus,
  avoiding a possible danger.
• How far a frog jumps depends on
• Frog mass.
• Frog Length.
• The nature of the stimulus used to get the frog
  to jump.
• Overall physical condition of the frog.

4
Methods(Presented by Person B)

• Three frogs selected at random.
• Mark the starting line on the floor.
• Place frog on starting line.
• Drop a book about 10 cm behind frog to initiate
  jumping response.
• Mark where from landed.
• Measure distance the frog jumped with a tape.
• Record the data.

5
Raw Data Presentation(Person C)

• Net average 15.6 cm

New Questions(Person B)

• Frog 1 didnt measure up. WHY NOT?
• NEW QUESTION.
• Does frog length or mass correlate with jumping
  distance?
• More data collected.
• Measured and recorded the mass of each frog.
• Measured and recorded its length.

8
Additional Raw Data Collected(Person C)

• More data

Conclusions(Person D)

• On average, the frogs jump 15.6 cm.
• Frog 3 jumped farther than any of the other
  three.
• Frog 1 jumped the least distance.
• Mass does not necessarily correlate with jumping
  distance.
• Frog 1 was the lightest and jumped the least
  distance.
• The heavist frog (2) did not have the greatest
  jump distance.

12
Conclusions(Person D)

• There is a positive correlatin between frog
  length and jump distance.
• Frog 1 was the shortest of the three and jumped
  the least distance.
• Frog 2 was intermediate in length and distance
  jumped.
• Frog 3 was the longest and jumped the farthest.

13
Future Experiments(Person D)

• Use a larger population of frogs to see if this
  trend exists in a larger sample size.
• Look at nature if the stimulus used to make the
  frogs jump.
