This is an activity that enables you and your child to observe the life-cycle of fruitflies.
Put some fruit in a bowl and simply, wait for fruit flies to land on ’em !
While the flies are feasting on the fruit, discuss what the flies may have done. “What are they doing?” ”What kind of changes do you see on the fruit?”
Whip out your magnifying glass and look at the fruit. Do you see any eggs there?
Cover the platter of fruit with a cloth and fasten it with a band. You could lift the cloth off
at various intervals in the day and look for changes in the fruit. In the span of a week, you
and your child can view the changes as the eggs hatch into larvae, the larvae grow into
pupae and watch as the the pupae emerge as adult flies.
