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 The frequency at which a cricket chirps will increase with warmer temperatures. 2. Explain how to set up the experiment:
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.
brainstorm a list ofall 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
include identification of the independent variable
The temperature of the crickets bins
the dependent variable
The frequency of the crickets chirp 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
