The hypothesis is that female mice will learn faster than the male mice and they tend to be right-pawed.

You will make two mazes, a classic maze and a T-maze, and time the mice as they complete the mazes. You will also observe which paws the mice tend to use.

You will need 5 male mice, 5 female mice, a stack of cardboard or old carton boxes, a pair of scissors, a roll of masking tape, a bottle of glue, a stopwatch, and a 1 meter ruler.

The results showed that the female mice completed the classic maze faster than the male mice. The female mice were right pawed while 80% of the male mice were left handed.

This science project is interesting because it shows the differences in learning abilities between male and female mice.

Consider using hamsters instead of mice, or different kinds of mazes and feeds. What happens if the experiment is conducted in complete darkness? What if a strong scent permeates through the entire maze? How will that affect the performance of the mice?

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!!
