Outdoor Hour - Crickets


This study was set up to study crickets, katydids and grasshoppers. We only studied crickets since that is what we found in a tipped over umbrella in the back yard.

Through the study the kids learned so much including how to identify the sex of the cricket. Since we took our cricket into our house and kept it as a pet for a few days, I was a bit thankful that she was a girl. Female crickets don't make the famous cricket noise.
