Post 8: This Week in Science (Fruit Flies Part 1)

This week in science was cool. We received the flies that we ordered and put the teachers put them into tubes. We then studied our habitats again and we studied the flies. We first studied the flies with a glass magnifier. We also received a paper showing all kinds of body parts of a fly. After studying and drawing the flies, we took a closer look at it with a Microscope.


We learned a lot about the flies too. We learned about male flies and female flies. Females flies are actually bigger than male flies. male flies also have a darker bottom. The female stores the males sperm and then makes babies. the egg hatches in a day, turns into a larva, becomes a pupa for 6 days, and then becomes an adult. We learned so much about little flies. this is what we learned this week in science.
