Crickets as a Science Fair Project

[deleted-595690]

Hello! I'm going to be an upcoming junior in high school, and I was wondering if having crickets would be a good science fair project. I was thinking of having them see if they can actually tell the temperature around them. I'm not sure if this is fit for a junior in high school... But I know there's been a lot of people that tried this, but I was wondering how I can make this project unique for my project.

Thank you!
