Question or Hypothesis guiding the project: How does the Hermit Crab react to different types of music?
 
Overview of the three required learning activities:
1. Make a survey
2. talk to expert
3. observe the Hermit crab
 
Findings (list): 
1. They do not react to music but they do react to vibrations.
2. Hermit Crabs occpy the shells of other shell fish.
3. Hermit Crabs range from different sizes.
4. Hermit Crabs unlike fish sleep during the day.
5. Hermit Crabs can live in salt water, fresh water, or on land in the sand.

11. Our Hermit Crab likes to bury itself in the hot sand to sleep and look for food.
12. Hermit Crabs unlike regular crabs can move in all directions.
13. Our Hermit Crab, Kermit, likes to tumble out of his water bowl and he likes to sit in the warm water.
14. Hermit Crabs can die if it gets too cold or too hot.
 
Conclusion: Was hypothesis proven correct, or incorrect - OR how was question answered:Our question was answered and it was also in a way proven correct because we hypothesized what the answer would be!
 
Questions raised for further study:
1. How do they mate?
2. How can somebody tell if a hermit crab is male or female?
3. The difference between a male or female?
4. Hermit crabs get along with other hermit crabs?
5. Do they get along with other sea life?
