Post 8: This Week in Science (Fruit Flies)

This week in Science we observed and made some notes of the things we notice and wonder in our habitat.Also we made notes of some Fruit flies that we saw.In my habitat i noticed that have a lot of flies and i wonder how the flies get there.In the fruit flies jar i noticed the different stages of the fruit flies but i didn't saw the egg.I only saw the larva,pupa,and the adult.The next day we solve a problem making our own hypothesis.We need to find how many fruit flies would be after  3 weeks if we put 3 fruit flies in a jar.My hypothesis was that after 3 weeks would be 180 fruit flies.





This week in Science i learned a lot about fruit flies.The 3 stages of life in drosophila melanogaster(Fruit flies) that are:egg,larva,pupa,and adult.Also i leraned that to make babies the fruit flies takes 16 days.In one day they have 20 eggs.I also learned that the females fruit flies are more bigger than the males  fruit flies.
