Student+A+Crickets

Does the frequency at which crickets chirp change with environmental temperature?


 * INCLUDE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING WITH YOUR EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: **
 * [remember it must be a controlled experiment **
 * 1. A hypothesis - If the temperature is decreased the the crickets will chirp less. **
 * 2. Explain how to set up the experiment: **
 * ** brainstorm a list of all the variables that must be kept constant during the experiment ** - amount of space between you and the criockets, type of crickets, amount of time spent listning to crickets, how long crickets are exposed to tempature, age of crickets, length of cricket, same person measuring the chirping, health of cricket, smarts of human, gender of cricket, size of contaner that the crickets are kept in, weather conditions, season, time of day
 * ** include identification of the independent variable - Tempature **
 * ** the dependent variable - Frequency of the chirps a cricket makes. **
 * ** identify the control group - The crickets that are exposed to room tempature **
 * ** identify the experimental group(s) - Bin 1(warm temperature), Bin 2(Cold temerature), Bun 3( Hot temperature), Bin 4( colder temperature that bin 2) **
 * 3. Provide enough details for someone else to set up your experiment -Place 30 crickets into 5 seperate bins, 6 crickets each. The first Bin Could have a warm temeperature.The second bin could have a cold temperature. The third bin could have a hot temperature. The fourth bin could have a slighly colder temperature that the second bin.The last bin could have room temperature. Rocord how may cirps each bin has for 5 min. Record you information on a chart. **
