6LE meet the maggots

6LE are finding out if maggots carry out the seven life processes. This afternoon they carried out an experiment to see if they were sensitive to light. 

First they shone the light from the left and then the right and made observations on the maggots movements:

Then they shone the light from above the maggots and made a note of their position on the paper after 30 seconds:

They made sure to collect in all the maggots after each experiment and are becoming more comfortable picking up their wriggly friends!
