The Cricket Experiment

            It was hypothesized that male crickets' chirping would increase with exposure to warmer climates. After conducting the experiment, the data collected did not support this hypothesis. According to the recorded data, the male crickets had an average of 90.33 chirps per minute when exposed to room temperature which is 20C. As a part of our experiment we placed crickets in three different environments in order to observe in which environment male crickets chirp more. We observed that the crickets chirp more in the 20C but when they were place in extreme temperature which was 0 Celsius or 40 Celsius, there was no chirping at all. .
             There are several variables that could have caused the results of our experiments to come out the way they did: the first variable could be because the crickets were under stress, from constantly being handled and moved around. Another possible explanations for the crickets' lack of activity could be the fact that most male crickets chirp in effort to court a female, and since there were no females there was no reason to chirp. This website talks about how male chirping to attract females (http://www.msue.msu.edu/msue/imp/mod02/01500542.html). .
             The purpose of this experiment is to study the chirping of male cricket, which belongs to the Acheta domesticus genus and species. We studied them in certain temperature to see how much they chirped. Specifically we investigated how much opposite extreme temperature affected the males chirping and we also observe them at room temperature, which is approximately 25C. We hypothesized that male crickets chimp more when they exposed to warmer temperature compared to when they are exposed to colder temperatures. However our experiment showed that the more extreme the opposite temperatures got we saw that the crickets did not chirp at all. The results of our experiment showed that our hypothesis was not supported by our results at all.

Introduction The American dream is interwoven and deeply embedded in every fabric of American life. It has also been the focal point of many novels under the genre of American literature. This dream as I understand it, is associated with rugged individualism, generous enthusiasm and idealism in the pursuit of success, fame, power and glory in their supremely possible ways. It trends from old puritanical American culture, the affirmation that Americans everywhere are a special people, "a city upon a hill" like the old puritans of New England called it, a land and place formulated by divine pr...
