For my project my conlusion supported my hypothesis. I said that if the lights started off then the dogs would notice the extra brightness when the lights are turned on and they did. 4 out of my 5 dogs realized the brightness and reacted to it.
My results were:

My goal for this project was to find out if domestic animals sleeping habitd are affected by artificial lights. And they are.
To extend my project I would have tested cats.
Sources of error could have been errors on my observations.
