BEST+COLLABORATED+DESIGN+CRICKETS+7

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

First you divide 100 crickets into groups of 20. One group would have freezing temperatures. Another group would have cool temperatures. The third group would have warm temperatures. The fourth group would have hot temperatures. The last group would have standard Pennsylvania temperatures. All the crickets will be placed in the same size containers, for twenty minutes. The gender of the crickets will be male. The species of the crickets will remain the same.
 * INCLUDE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING WITH YOUR EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: **
 * [remember it must be a controlled experiment] **
 * 1. A hypothesis **
 * The frequency at which a cricket chirps will increase with warmer temperatures.**
 * 2. Explain how to set up the experiment: **
 * ** brainstorm a list of all the variables that must be kept constant during the experiment **
 * **The gender of cricket**
 * **The size of the container the cricket is put in**
 * **The age of the Cricket**
 * **Amount of time listening to the cricket**
 * **Same type of cricket**
 * **Season**
 * **The time of day**
 * **Weather Conditions**

The temperature of the crickets bins The frequency of the crickets chirp
 * ** include identification of the independent variable **
 * ** the dependent variable **
 * identify the control group **

Standard weather conditions for Pennsylvania

 * ** identify the experimental group(s) **

All the other groups that do not have normal weather conditions

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