**Are Fatter Animals Warmer?**
The hypothesis of this experiment was that fatter animals are warmer.

In our experiment we created two clay cats, one fat and one average weight, and put them in a container of ice. We then stuck a Temperature Prob Thermometer degrees Celsius into the cat in order to check the temperature of the cat. Then we recorded the data and compared the to different temperatures.

The data supported our hypothesis that fatter animals are warmer. We discovered that fatter animals are warmer.

Some advice would be to make sure that there is an even amount of ice in each container that contains a clay cat. You will get a huge difference in temperatures if you put more ice in one container than another. Make sure you start the thermometers at the same time so you collect the data at the same time. Also take the thermometers out of the cats at the same time.

If someone in the future were to do this experiment, they could test and see how animals body temperature react to warm climates.

We would both choose this project again. It was interesting and creative. Overall it was a really fun project and we both really enjoyed experimenting with it.
