	Project title: what type of hay do horses prefer?
Difficulty level:	Middle school
Main link:	None

Hypothesis:

I think that horses would prefer alfalfa hay instead of grass or timothy hay.

Materials:

For our project we would need a flake of grass hay
a flake of alfalfa hay
a flake of timothy hay
ten horses
a barn
a safe place to feed them

The Procedure:

what you would do is you would take your first horse and then give it a taste of grass hay. then you would let it taste the alfalfa hay. and then you would let it take a taste of timothy hay. then you could bring in the next horse and you could keep doing the procedure until all the horses had been tested. How you could recored this is one pesron could make a bar graph while the secong person could test the horse.

Results:

The resultes were that the horses liked all the hay equelly. they did not have a prefrence over which hay they were eating at the moment.
