text: During your field trip to the zoo, you and your
  partner will make general observations of primates and then
  focus on one particular individual. Through this activity, you
  will gain experience in data collection and conducting behavioral
  observations, as well as gain insight into the extraordinary
  life of chimpanzee or gorilla society.
  Prepare for Field Trip:
  Before you conduct your own observations, read samples
  from Dr. Goodall’s research.
  Jane later adopted more standardized methods, using
  datasheets and the time interval technique.
  Read about the different primate behaviors to prepare
  for your general observations at the zoo.
  Print out the datasheet
  and be sure to take it with you on the field trip!
  Choose one particular category of behaviors (e.g., Aggression)
  to focus on in the second part of your data collection
  and then find our more by reading about the behavior.
  In the “Specific Behaviors” section of the
  data sheet, fill in behaviors you will look for under your
  chosen category. For example, if you chose Aggression and
  you will be viewing chimpanzees, you may write arm raise,
  charging display, and biting in the provided spaces.

  Start Your Data Collection:
  At Gombe, two researchers work
  side by side to collect data of chimpanzee behavior. One researcher
  records data on a target individual and the other records
  data on the entire group of chimpanzees. When making your
  observations at the zoo, you and your partner will mirror
  the research methodology used at Gombe.
