Cricket Investigation

 Background Research : In the wild usually eat dead insects,young plants,fungi.The male cricket usually chirp.Male crickets chirp to attract a female mate.Crickets eats with there antennas.Crickets die by too much wind.They live under rocks and log in a meadow.Crickets can tell weather.They chirp by rubbing there legs together.Crickets drink raindrops.They could even eat each other.

  Question: Do crickets like fruits or vegetable?  

  Hypothesis: If we give the crickets a chose of apples and celery Then, I think the cricket well like apples better Because, according to the data we saw they prefer apples.

 Digital picture:
-In this picture shows the apples and celery and the two crickets.

 Data Table:

  -In this picture it shows in how much time the crickets ate apple and vegetable.

   I used method 4 because i found it more easy and clearly to understand.Method 4 is seeing the feeding of the crickets in secs and minutes.I recorded my data by putting fruit and vegetable and then put 30secs,1min,1min 30sec,2mins.

 Mini Conclusion: In this investigation we gathered data to have our results.We did which crickets like better fruits or vegetable.While we were seeing there behavior we saw a piece of celery in the apple side and one of the crickets was eating it.We branged the celery closer to the apples then we saw the crickets got closer and started to eat the celery.We found this very interesting.
