Comparing Dog Intelligence
Hard
In this project, we will compare the intelligence of female and male dogs. We will measure the time it takes for them to complete certain tasks, and see if there is a difference between the genders.
Hypothesis
The hypothesis is that female dogs are more intelligent than male dogs.
Method & Materials
You will need three male and three female German Shepherds, six towels, six empty boxes, a dog trainer or the dog owners, a box of dog biscuits, and a stopwatch. You will measure the time it takes for the dogs to complete certain tasks, such as retrieving a biscuit from under a box or removing a towel from their face.

Results
The results showed that the female dogs performed the tasks in a shorter time span than the males, as evidenced by the higher scores. This suggests that the hypothesis holds true: female dogs are more intelligent than male dogs.
Why do this project?
This science project is interesting because it explores the intelligence of a species that has been our loyal companions for centuries. It also provides insight into the differences between male and female dogs.
Also Consider
To get more reliable results, consider using a larger sample of dogs. Also consider using other breeds of dogs for this science project. Modify the experiment by making the dogs perform other tasks.
