Unit Two: Observer
"How many times I have wished that I could look out onto the world through the eyes, with the mind, of a chimpanzee. One such minute would be worth a lifetime of research." --Dr. Jane Goodall
Arrow Purpose of Observer Activity:
The following activities will let you see through Dr. Jane's binoculars. In these exercises, you will learn the basics about being a keen observer, as well as the basics about chimpanzee social behavior. Then, the next time you visit a zoo and observe primates, you will be able to use your new observation skills.
 
  1. Define the word observe. (Enter the word observe into the dictionary text field.)
  2. Conduct the observation activities.
  3. View Dr. Jane’s scrapbook and look for ways that she was a good observer.
  4. Complete journal entry.
  5. Locate Tanzania on the interactive map.
Arrow Survey of Chimpanzee Behavior:
 
  1. Pretend you are in Africa looking through binoculars at wild chimpanzees. View video clips and make field notes.
  2. Conduct a mini primate research project.
  3. View the video clips of chimpanzees for second time and then compare your notes to those of a researcher at Gombe.
  4. Give oral presentation.
