An explanation of how scientists use fruit flies as model organisms to study the effects of diet and genetics on health.
Learn how a scientist can study the human system using a model organism. This introduction to the NGSS crosscutting concept of Systems and System Models provides students with an example of how a scientist can use fruit flies as a system model to learn more about diet and nutrition. This video is intended for middle school and high school audiences. It includes an explanation of the inputs and outputs of the system under study, the limits of the model, and how genetic background can influence the system. This video was produced as part of Buck Institute’s STEAM Engine, which uses Buck science to prepare teachers and classes for the Next Generation Science Standards.Why it's here
