Questions
- Why was it critical to keep the paper in direct physical contact
with the microphone?
(To detect the faintest sounds, the vibrations needed to be
transferred through paper, a solid medium)
- What was the purpose of the petroleum jelly?
(It formed a ring that contained the insect)
- Was the connection between the observed sounds and the insect's
leg movements obvious?
(Accept all reasonable answers. Although a rhythm is detected,
the tonality and inconsistency of the cadence makes it difficult
to associate with insect leg movements.)
