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? Select one: 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.
Crickets tend to be busier and more energetic when the temperatures are high, but that's not why you hear them more clearly when the weather is hot or warm. The audibility of their chirping is actually directly related to how much energy their bodies have. Colder temperatures lead to crickets with decreased energy levels. Warmer temperatures, on the other hand, give crickets energy boosts, not too unlike people. ― https://animals.mom.me/affects-chirps-crickets-8953.html
