The hypothesis is that the Diamondback terrapin will be able to recognize colors.

You will need to purchase 10 Diamondback terrapins, and prepare three feeding trays of the same size and shape but of different colors. You will then train the turtles for a week to eat only from a blue color food tray. After the week of training, you will arrange the trays in a row and place the food in each of the 3 trays. Release the hungry turtles 1 meter away from the trays and count how many turtles go to each tray.

You will need 10 Diamondback terrapins, a blue feeding tray, a red feeding tray, a yellow feeding tray, and small fish as turtle bait or turtle feed.

The results of the experiment showed that most of the Diamondback terrapin turtles headed for the blue tray. This indicates that turtles are able to differentiate between colors and see well at night.

This science project is interesting because it tests the ability of turtles to recognize colors, which is something that has not been studied in depth before.

Consider conducting the experiment in a dark room that does not have light, or using other species of turtles or tortoises. Alternatively, try sealing the trays with plastic food wrap and observe if there is any difference in the behaviour of the turtles.

Hey there! Here are some awesome videos about this science project that we think you'll really like. They're not only super fun, but they'll also help you learn more about the science behind the project. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have some fun!!
