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

    This week in science we created our hypothesis, created a graph and attempted to figure out how many eggs will be there at the end of three weeks.  And also we had to use a table and make a graph.  Which required a lot of math.  Also we had to get in groups to guess how long it will take them to get through all the stages.  And we are getting spiders to put the fruit flies in the tank.
   We learned that a female lays 20 eggs a day.  And on the 14 day they turn into adults.  And also the female don't have to mate.  Because it has a sperm Store inside of them.  And lastly the female fly is bigger then the male fly.
