Question: How does caloric intake effect a fruit fly’s life span
Purpose: My purpose for this experiment is to find out what effects too much calories or too little calories have on a fruit fly’s life span. By doing so I can begin to take steps on testing this effect on more complex organisms and find out a way to find a solution to America’s obesity and anorexia conflicts.
Materials: 10-20 fruit flies, blue berries, 5-10 container holders for fruit flies during experiments, camera
Procedure: Gather all materials needed for experiment
Place 2-4 fruit flies in each container
Place one blue berry in each container for fruit flies to eat
Create a charts (same amount as containers) to measure the life span and amount of blue berry each fruit fly eats
Observe Fruit Fly changes over the course of 3 months
Record measurements in charts
*Note have one container fed on regular diet for comparison

Number steps and maybe, you should use a magnafi glass to see every thing better.
ik think that fruit flies are a super idea
Hi Joziah,
How is this experiment going? It seems like you’d have to be a very careful observer to know what each fruit fly ate if you have two to four flies in one container. I’m very interested in what you find out and whether you think it has application to human eating habits/obesity/anorexia.
