Question :Does the frequency at which crickets chirp change with environmental temperature?
Hypothesis: The crickets chirp is faster when it is in a hotter climate.
The set up of the experiment: Scientist should put each cricket into a different container. They should have (4) different groups of crickets for this experiment. One needs to be in a cold temperature, another cricket needs to be in a medium warm temperature, In addition one should be in a hot temperature, and finally one in standard conditions. Furthermore you should have 20 crickets and divide them evenly in each temperature.
*Always have a larger sample size to make sure nothing has gone wrong.
The Variables that must be kept constant: BRAINSTORM
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
Independent Variable: Is the temperature of the bin the cricket is in.
Dependent Variable: The frequency of the chirp
Control Group: Standard weather condition container(Not cold, not hot)
Experimental Group: All groups that are not in the standard temperature container
INCLUDE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING WITH YOUR EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: [remember it must be a controlled experiment] 1. A hypothesis 2. Explain how to set up the experiment:
brainstorm a list ofall the variables that must be kept constant during the experiment
include identification of the independent variable
the dependent variable
identify the control group
identify the experimental group(s)
3. Provide enough details for someone else to set up your experiment
