Astudent does an experiment for a science fair to study whether temperature affects the timing of a cricket’s chirps. the student keeps a cricket in an enclosed box that is heated to different temperatures each day for twelve days. the student records the cricket’s chirps by using a sound-activated microphone so the timing of the chirps can be measured. which is the dependent variable in this experiment? size of the box temperature of the box timing of the cricket’s chirps volume of the cricket’s chirps

The timing of the cricket's depends on the temperature of the box

so the answer should be

timing of the cricket's chirps

Hi!

There are a few types of variables in these types of experiments. They are independent, dependent, and controlled.

The independent is the one changed by the scientist, or in this case, the temperature. The controlled is the things that remain constant through every case, and the dependent is what is being observed, seeing if it changes through the altercation of the independent variable.

In this case, what is being observed is the timing of a cricket's chirps, because it is being watched whether or not temperature affects it.

Therefore, your answer is the third choice, or the timing of the cricket's chirps.

Hope this helped!

youre right there are
