Crickets Observations

The project is “Is the frequency a cricket chirps affected by light?” The purpose of the experiment is to see if environmental changes will affect crickets in the future. The hypothesis of this experiment is that light will affect the frequency a cricket chirps. A cricket is a nocturnal omnivore. A cricket chirps mostly at night. They eat orange halves, potatoes, and zucchini. They do not need water because they absorb the moisture out of the food and if you give them too much water they will drown, because crickets drink water through their back legs. They like to sleep on cardboard egg cartons and prefer to be hidden from sight.

First thing to do is to plan out the time of day to do experiment and then set up the experiment. Later leading to the testing part of the experiment. The results led to the fact that crickets do not chirp more in light. The importance of the experiment is to find out how global warming will affect crickets in the future. In conclusion to the experiment, crickets chirping is not affected by natural light or artificial light.
