Testing Using the virtual lab found at www.weymouthhsbiology.wikispaces.com, the experiment will be run to analyze cricket chirp rate. The variables that will be observed are: * # of crickets nearby * Air temperature (25°C) * Atmospheric pressure (760 mm) * Humidity (15%) * Wind speed (2M/SEC) During each of my experiments, I will keep the above constant and vary a single change. This experiment will use the virtual lab and collect and analyze the data. Data collection Atmospheric Pressure | Pressure | Chirps | 700 | 148 | 730 | 148 | 760 | 148 | Wind speed | Wind speed | Chirps | 0 | 148 | 2 | 148 | 4 | 148 | Temperature | Temp | Chirps | 5°C | 4 | 15°C | 76 | 24°C | 141 | 32°C | 198 | 45°C | 292 | Number of crickets #Crickets | Chirps | 0 | 148 | 10 | 148 | 20 | 148 | Percent Humidity | Humidity | Chirps | 10 | 148 | 15 | 148 |
