This Week in Science (Fruit Flies Day 1)

    This week in science we observed our spider habitat to see any changes we saw. A lot changed in our habitat like our plants grew , we had a few fruit flies in our tank and some of our insects died. After observing our fantasy habitat we looked at fruit flies in a jar and we saw how they eat and their babies. We also started answering the question about how many babies a 3 fruit flies if we leave them in a jar for 3 weeks. That's all we did so far in this week of science.


    This week in science we learned a lot about fruit flies. I learned that fruit flies could lay up to 20 eggs a day and after that they develop quickly. I also learned the fruit fly life cycle, it goes from the egg to the larva then to that pupa and after the pupa a fruit fly is fully developed. The process from a egg to a full grown fruit fly takes 16 days. Fruit flies are small insects but they reproduce very quickly.
