Getting to Know Your Cricket

Have you ever wondered what makes that chirping sound you hear on warm spring and summer nights? It’s crickets! That chirping noise is crickets communicating with one another. Chirping is an essential part of a cricket's communication.

In this activity, you'll study crickets more closely to see how different conditions cause different amounts of chirping.
