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 that crickets chirp will decrease when exposed to cold weather. 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 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 *
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.
