Cricket Investigation

Question : Do crickets prefer fruit or vegetable ?

Hypothesis : if we put fruit on one side of the tank and vegetable on the other , i believe they would prefer fruit because david just put an apple in their tank so if they liked vegetables better he would of put a piece of lettuce or something in the tank.

   On one side we put celery and on the other side we put apple.

This Week In Science #6

      This week in science I have observed cricket behavior. We used four methods to see if crickets prefer damp or dry better. we had two crickets inside one tank, the whole tank had paper towels. In one side the paper towel was damp and on the other it was dry. the crickets stayed in the dry side most of the time. Then my group and i took off the lid. Afterward the crickets started to become more active. One of the crickets went on the damp side and then back to the dry side and both crickets began to fight. 

      Towards the end of the week my group and I had a mission challenge. We learned how to use dichotomous  keys. The challenge was to use different methods to classify jelly beans and see which method works best. To help us learn how to use dichotomous keys David showed us by using shoes from different students in our class room.

This week in science 5

   
        The video above is a video i found on youtube of this fascinating creature found in japan. i found this animal to be strange. 



 
This week in science my group and i have been observing animal behavior. we have been watching youtube videos of strange animal behavior it was actually interesting how animals behave way differently than humans act.  yesterday in class we were observing actual cickets. they barely were moving , the crickets were hidding the the loose leaft. Afterwards i saw a baby cricket come out of the paper and started eating the piece of apple that was there.
