Answer:

Righting. During a fall from a high place, a cat can reflexively twist its body and right itself using its acute sense of balance and its flexibility. This is known as the cat's "righting reflex". The minimum height required for this to occur in most cats (safely) would be around 90 cm (3.0 ft).

The lower temperature months tend to have lower cats falling and the higher temperature months tend to have a higher number of cats falling.

The answer is

Students practice Claims, Evidence, and Reasoning (CER) while exploring the link between falls from a height and cat injuries.

What is the relationship between number of cats falling and months of the year?

  • The graphs show that cats that fall from 2 to 7 stories often sustain more injuries than cats that fall from further distances. Not much information is given on how the data was collected, although the original source is included I think this is a good time to start talking about research ethics with students. Some students will question how the data was collected, suggesting that scientists wouldn't throw cats out of buildings. The data was actually collected from veterinary reports from cats  treated after falls.



  • Students first analyze the data in a spreadsheet, then read a Nature article called Why Cats Have Nine Lives, which explains in more detail  why cats can survive falls that would kill humans.

  • Some of the vocabulary in this article may be difficult for some biology students, especially words related to veterinary and anatomical concepts. For example, the chart displays a line to indicate the number of "split palates" recorded from falls. Students may not know that a cleft palate indicates an injury to the mouth or chin.
