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.
Above is a photo of jelly beans from the jellybelly factory. My group and i used 8 of them for our mission challenge
