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 crickets chirp change with the environment's temperature.
2. Explain how to set up the experiment
brainstorm a list ofall the variables that must be kept constant during the experiment
species of crickets
season
gender of crickets
time of day
weather conditions (ex: rain, snow, sunny)
include identification of the independent variable
The independent variable is the weather conditions
the dependent variable
frequency of crickets chirping
identify the control group
crickets in moderate weather conditions (not freezing, not very hot)
identify the experimental group(s)
crickets in very hot weather conditions
crickets in freezing weather conditions
3. Provide enough details for someone else to set up your experiment Fred's friend Bob told him that the frequency of which crickets chirp change with the environmental temperatures. Fred decided to do a experiment, to try and find the results of Bob's hypothesis. He placed 50 crickets in a climate that has warm temperatures, and 50 crickets in a climate with cool temperatures. Fred then recorded how many times he heard a chip in each weather condition of five minutes.
