Crickets are called a natural thermometers. These crickets are one of nature's more interesting insects, partly because of their musical ability. In England, the chirping or singing of a cricket was once considered to be a sign of good luck.One of the interesting facts about crickets is that their activity is dependent upon the temperature.As a result of this, they can be thought of as "natural" thermometers. The rate of a cricket's chirp increases as the temperature increases and depends on the type of cricket. So if you know the right formula and the type of cricket you hear chirping, you can estimate the temperature by counting the chirps. Changes in humidity and different crickets of the same type also produce variations in a cricket's chirping rate. The dominant factor, however, is temperature, so formulas relating temperature to the number of chirps are fairly accurate.
- Start your stopwatch and start counting the number of chirps the cricket makes in 15 seconds
- Write down the number of chirps that you get
- Add that number to 40
- That number should be pretty close to the actual temperature!

Nature's thermometer refers to a variety of natural indicators that can inform us about environmental conditions, such as the behavior of animals, the blooming of plants, or the melting of ice. These indicators can provide valuable insights into the state of ecosystems and the impacts of climate change.

How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
