AP Biology Investigation #12: Fruit Fly Behavior

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.
