Student+A+Crickets+7

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 - T he frequency that crickets chirp will decrease when exposed to cold weather. 2. Explain how to set up the experiment: ** * ** amount of space in the bins * type of crickets * amount of time spent listening to crickets * how long crickets are exposed to temperature * age of crickets * length of crickets * who measures the crickets chirp * how long the cricket chirps *
 * brainstorm a list of all the variables that must be kept constant during the experiment
 * include identification of the independent variable ** * ** the temperature of the crickets bin
 * the dependent variable ** * ** How many times the crickets chirp
 * identify the control group - The cricket exposed to normal conditions
 * identify the experimental group(s) - The crickets that are exposed to cold, warmer, warm, and hot temperatures

3. Provide enough details for someone else to set up your experiment

- Place 5 different crickets into 5 seperate bins. In the first bin, have a cold temperature. In the second bin, have a slightly warmer bin. In the third bin, have a warm temperature. In the forth bin, have a hot temperature. In the 5th bin, have a cricket exposed to normal weather conditions. in each bin, record how many chirps the cricket makes for 5 minutes. record your information in a chart.
