Cricket Investigation

Background Research:
Crickets have many necessities.  One of their needs are that since they are omnivores and scavengers 


Question:
Do crickets prefer fruits or vegetables?


Hypothesis:
If on one side of the tank we put a fruit and on the other side a vegetable, then the crickets will prefer the fruit better,  because the fruit decays faster and is moister.   


Experimental Setup:

This is an image of the cricket tank showing the fruit (apples) on the left side and vegetables (celery), and cricket on the right side.











Data Table:
 I took 4 trails of method 2.  Method 2 shows there  precise movement from either side of the tank.

Conclusion:
During the investigation, I notice that the crickets preferred both the fruit and vegetables equally.  The cricket mostly spent its time hopping around, but it spend 50% of its time on either foods.  I took 4 trials in two of the trials the cricket hopped around ignoring the food.  For the other two trials the cricket either ate apples or ate celery equally.  So this proves that the cricket did not only prefer apples over celery.
