Crickets Investigation

Background Info:Crickets Only live to be about 1 year.Crickets only enjoy the darkness more because when they are in the heat,when the chirp,it makes them tired faster and that is why they are more active at night.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Question:Do crickets like vegetables or fruits,or both?

This Week In Science #6

This week in science I classified jelly beans and made the jelly beans in groups.We had to ask questions about the jelly beans such as what color was the jelly beans,did it have spots.I had to make the list and my other team members had to make the graph.The questions I asked the questions and my team members had to guess what jelly bean matched the description.We also had to create a poster afterward and present it to the class.

This week in science #5

  This week in science I learned about we learned about crickets and observed them in a container.We also had to look up animals behaviors on youtube.Everybody had  a different animal behavior.We observed the crickets and saw that they constantly kept chirping.It was also brought to attention that the crickets were scared and kept on hiding in the piece of loose leaf.THey don't eat unless there is no one around.They're very timid and don't like people shaking up the container.they die really easily and often do not come out of the loose leaf paper when one dies.                                                                                                                     The crickets are somewhat fascinating but there are still some things that I am unsure of.Why do they constantly chirp when it is not even night?It is bright in the classroom and they still chirp.I thought that crickets only chirp at night.My hypothesis is that the crickets might have restless leg syndrome.They don't seem to stop chirping unless they are afraid and hide.
