In this lab we conducted an experiment on the effects that the amount of food and temperature has on the amount of fruit flies in a particular location. We had chosen many locations with these varying variables to see these effects. The locations with varying amount of food in order of least to most were Patrick’s room, Wyatt’s room, AJ’s room, my room, the McMillan basement and the school garden. All locations have similar temperatures except for the school garden which was considerably colder due to it being fall. We used cups filled with vinegar, soap, and apple slices to capture the flies and left them out for two three day intervals. It was found that fruit flies are in fact more attracted to locations with more food available compared
