Will notices that crickets seem to chirp more frequently at night in June than they do in October. He asks himself, "How do temperature changes affect how often crickets chirp"? If he were to perform an experiment, which of these statements would be the best hypothesis? A) Crickets are inactive in October. B) Do crickets like warm weather better than cold weather? C) Crickets chirp more frequently as temperature increases. D) Crickets chirp for many reasons, and temperature is probably one reason.

I remember this question, meaning I probably used the same kind of science book or whatever, probably A @bellablain

thank you

OpenStudy (colouringme):

I thought it was C though heheh

OpenStudy (bellablain):

well crickets are cold-blooded. therefore the colder it is the slower it is and the warmer the temperature the faster the cricket moves. therefore when the temperature is cold the cricket chirps slower, when the temperature is warm the cricket chirps faster.

OpenStudy (bellablain):

so what would that tell you fineshine

OpenStudy (lunymoony):

I was thinking about bees, if the temperature is too cold they freeze up in their sacks until its done and rdy to go out for food

OpenStudy (colouringme):

Hypothesis is written because you've questioned something, in this case, Will is wondering how does temperature affect crickets chirp, therefore, the hypothesis he wrote should against or support it question... Question : How do temperature changes affect how often crickets chirp Hypothesis : against : (Higher/lower) temperature doesnt affect the frequence of cricket chirp support: against : (Higher/lower) temperature affect the frequence of cricket chirp
