Research Process

• First, I thought of a topic we all can relate
  to.
• I came up with sleep, and sleep patterns of
  animals and humans. I focused on a bird and
  mammals.
• I researched my questions using google as a
  search engine.

Why do owls sleep during the day?
5

• Owls are nocturnal. This means owls sleep during
  the day and are awake at night
• Owls sleep during the day because they spend
  their nights awake hunting their prey.
• Owls hunt at night because their prey cannot see
  them coming. Owls are very quiet and cannot be
  easily heard by their prey.

Why do bears hibernate?
7

• A bears survival depends on its hibernation
  during the winter months. Hibernation is a
  dormant sleep-like state.
• Bears hibernate because of the scarce amount of
  food available during the colder months of
  winter.
• Usually bears will choose a cave or a hollowed
  out tree to hibernate in.
• Before hibernation, the bear will add onto its
  body weight by accumulation fat. Bears can
  accumulate up to 40 pounds of fat per week, which
  it will live off for the following months

How many hours of sleep should humans get per
night?
9

• The National Sleep Foundation states that adults
  should get between seven and nine hours of sleep
  per day.
• A child between the ages of 1 and 3 require
  between ten and thirteen house of sleep per day.
• As teens go through puberty, they need more
  sleep. Because many teens take part in sports,
  clubs, and after school activities, the majority
  of teenagers are sleep deprived.
