Goal: Complete the limitation and material

part.
Reflection:

My group have been sharing and separate

who work what part so I got the limitation par
t. So our group have face several limitation a
bout this experiment for like the guniea pig c
ant walk out from the maze, the guinea pig c
ant smell the food because it too far, the ma
ze it too small for the guinea pig and also tha
t the guinea pig afriad of the people. I also re
search the material information in the interne
t that what we need to use in the experiment.
In website that I look through mostly they tal
k about is the wood, capboard for doing the
maze. Then I write in the google doc. I didnt
finish material part yet because our group did
nt know exactly yet what we need, it still can
changed in the futher. For tomorrow I will ask
in group member about material part that do
we need something more. So that I can finish
the material part.

Goal: Research and choose type of mouse
that we want to doing the experiment. And st
art thinking that how can we train them.
Reflect:
We start to research the type of mouse in the
internet that how much year that type of
mouse can stay. And we choose the guinea pi
g because it the animal that can stay long 6-
8 years. And we thinking that we can use the
smell or color to help them come out the maz
e that we build. But the problem is that guine
a pig is the animal that not smart much. So w
e all thinking that we can put the food as a tr
ail and made them come out of the maze.

Goal: Research about guinea pig eyesight
Reflect:
We want to know more about guinea pig
eyesight so we research about it in the intern
et. And we gain more new knowledge about g
uinea pig the animal that we want to doing th
e experiment. We know that the guinea pig u
sually have poor eyesight. Some of the sourc
e say that guinea pig is color bind but some o
ther source say not so we dont know exactly
yet that guinea pig is color blind or not. And
we also start thinking (design) the maze that
what should we using the material to build th
e maze to be strong, unharm and complex.

Goal: Made the animal start to walk the
maze.
Reflect:
We have finished the maze already. So we
bring the animal out of the cage to made
them walk in the maze. But the conflict is
that the animal very fear to human even if
feed them by hand but the animal keep stay
still not walk not eat and they also shake in
fear. So my group change the plan that we
will be friend with the first then if they not
fear anymore will let them walk in the maze.
We didnt complete our goal because the
animal is too fear to walk so next time we will
let them come out by themselves if they
want and slowly train them not rush them.
We also take the food out on the morning so
that when we put the them in the maze they
can walk and find the food.

Goal: Build trust to animal.
Reflect:
So we start to build trust between them by
bring hold them close to us and slowly feed
them the grass if they not eat we try the
carrot instead which not work either. So we
feed the water instead the result is that they
drink a lot of them. And we also take the food
out on the morning and feed them by
ourselves so that we can develop relationship
with animal. We will keep doing this until they
not fear anymore. We not complete our goal
yet because it takes alto time to do. So we
will keep feed them until they stop fear.

Goal: Build trust to animal.
Reflect:
Today we also take the food out on the
morning so that on lunch time or break time
we can come and feed them by ourselves to
get close to them more. Today we also put
them out of the cage and set them on the
floor and help each other feed them the
grass and water. Today have a good sight
that the animal not shake in fear or stay still
anymore it start to walk and come close to
human than before. We also put them in the
maze to see that can they walk but the result
is that they keep freeze not moving. So we
start to feed them in the maze they only
move their neck to eat. So our goal today is
not complete yet because we think that we
didnt build the trust enough to let them walk
in the maze so next time we have to clam
them down first by pet them so that they not
scared.
