I'm getting my information from Assignment Discovery on the Discovery Channel on Monday at 5 in the morning, but they didn't say definitively and didn't say if this sound weapon could be used defensively to thwart killer whale attacks to defend itself. Could it? Their prey is squid, a lot different from a kiler whales body. Just curious. What do you know about a sound weapon by sperm whales?

Aim: How do external factors such as climate, predators, competitors or access to food affect that live in a pond habitat.

Hypothesis: There will be small fish because it is easier for them to find their food.

Materials:

•Animals

Method:
a)Put the net in the pond and get it out again.
b)Check if you caught any fish or fish food.
c)Record your observations.
d)Repeat steps a-c 5 times.
e)Record your information in a data table.
f)Look in the pond 5 times for fish and fish food.
g)Record your information in the same data table, in which you had to record your observations of the scoops.

Results:
The 1st time we put the net in and out of the pond, we only caught 3 tiny fish. The 2nd time we caught tadpoles. The 3rd and 4th time we caught seaweed and sea algae. On the 5th time we only caught dirt.
For the visual examination the 1stand 4th time we saw many fish. For the 2nd and 3rd time we saw lots and lots of algae. We saw lots of seaweed on all looks.

I have got a set of questions which I asked lots of people and now i need to calculate the averages for each answer. Each question had a scoring system 1-6, with 1 beeing poor, and 6 being excellent. The way I have tryed working this out is by taking the point from each question- adding that up, and then dividing the total by 6. However i am coming up with answers like 17.3 etc. I need to calculate so that my answer is between 1 and 6.
Many thanks for your help!
