Students will study whether fruit flies will move toward or away from important
chemicals and food that aid in their survival. Using the Innovating Science
choice behavior chamber, behaviors of the fruit-flies are observed and any
pattern can be identified. Students will formulate their own theories based
on the fruit flies’ response to the chemicals and foods, and then determine
what materials and experiments should be tested further. Meets AP Science
Practices 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, and Big Idea 4. Materials provided for eight lab
groups.
