This experiment tested whether crickets will eat or drink during the school day when they are comfortable in their environment. Crickets movements, food, and water use were recorded throughout the day. T
Congratulations to the entire 5th-grade team. Your study on the “comfort levels” of crickets shows a wonderful understanding of animal behavior. I was particularly impressed by your “Ideas for Future Research” section, which suggests using recorded classroom sounds to assess noise impact, showing you are thinking like professional ethologists. Your detailed observations of cricket behavior and your honesty about the conclusion, like the crickets being naturally cautious prey animals, showed real scientific maturity. Keep asking great questions.
I congratulate you, young scientists,for getting to SARSEF 2026. The cricket experiment was obviously yours and you carried it out as planned with impressive graphs for displaying your findings! Stay curious and enjoy your SARSEF experience.
