What
we learned from our experiment:
-
We observed that it was hard to see the monarch when it was
300 feet away. It looked like a tiny dot.
- We
also observed that the color of the background affected how
well we could see the monarch in this experiment.
- Based
on these results, we
concluded that a monarch can disappear from view when it is
flying as low as 300 feet. We would probably not notice a monarch
that was flying overhead at that height.
Based
on past experience, we also know that:
-
it is easier to see monarchs when they are moving (rather than
stationary like the monarch in this experiment was), and
-
it
is easier to see monarchs when they are flying in a large group
(rather than alone, like the monarch in this experiment was).
Therefore,
we conclude that it might be possible to see monarchs when they
are flying more than 300 feet high.
