Cricket Investigation

Question: Do crickets prefer rough or smooth environments?

Background Research: Something that crickets need is food. Another important thing that crickets need is water. Something else crickets need is warmth. Crickets also need their organs to live.

Hypothesis: If I put a cricket in a rough surface and a smooth surface the cricket would want to stay on the smooth surface because it will have a comfortable environment?

Data Explanation: What I did was i made a list of everything the cricket was doing. Like for example one of the things I wrote was the cricket is walking around in circles.

What I Learned: I learned that a cricket prefers a smooth environment than a rough environment. The cricket was staying on the smooth side.

THIS WEEK IN SCIENCE #6

              This week in science i did a cricket investigation. I did four trials on different things they do. Like for example i did one on running and walking. Every fifteen seconds i would put one on running and walking but that's  only if they ran or walk. I also did a jelly bean investigation. I came up with a question and then I looked at the jelly beans and then I put a couple jelly beans on yes and a couple jelly beans on no. That's what I did this week in science.

 

              This week in science I learned that there were so many flavors for jelly beans. I knew that their were a lot of flavors but there was more then I expected. I also learned that crickets likes different places to be. One cricket stood in the dry surface the whole time and one cricket stood in the wet surface the whole time. I learned that every cricket is different from watching that. I also learned what was a dichotomous key. A dichotomous key is when you take a small group and then you make it bigger until you only have one thing left. That's what I learned this week in science.

This Week in Science

              This week in science I watched some videos about animals. I was listing down what were their behaviors. One of the videos was a parrot trying to mate with human. Another video was a cat trying to take on a deer. I also observed some crickets. I was listing down their behaviors. I also drew a cricket too. I  also finished my rocket conclusion. Thats what I did this week in science.

This parrot is one of kind. There are 92 of them in the whole world. 

             This week in science I learned what was the type of bird that we saw in the video. I also learned what was its mating position. One ah-ha moment I had was that octopuses could open jars. I thought since they were mostly boneless could barely do anything. Another ah-ha moment I had was that octopuses are not that smart. I say this because when it opened the jar it got it self stuck in it.
