Question

a student thinks that birds eat the same food as squirrels. which of the following would give her data to answer the question? she counts the number of birds and squirrels in a park. she puts a squirrel and a bird together in a cage for a week and observes them she feeds sugar water to each and records how much they drink. she observes squirrels and birds and writes down everything they eat.

Explanation:

To determine if birds and squirrels eat the same food, direct observation of their eating habits is key. Recording what they eat provides relevant data. Feeding them sugar - water and recording drink amounts doesn't directly address food - eating similarity. Caging them together may change natural behavior and not give accurate data on normal food preferences. Counting numbers doesn't help with food - eating similarity.

Answer:

She observes squirrels and birds and writes down everything they eat.
