I learned form seeing Ms. Weissman that i need a pragraph that restated my paper. I wrote it, and it's 156 words long:

This experiment is being studied for one reason. To figure out if air pollution has a major affect on ecosystems, and could eventually end up affecting the entire global eco-system. The independent variable is smoke, because smoke is a common component in air pollution, and it is a safe clean way to represent air pollution in an experiment. The dependent variable is fruit flies, because they are common insects that are easy to handle with large reproductive potential, and that is why they are good representatives for insects in general. If the smoke affects fruit fly development, then it can be assumed that air pollution can affect insect development. If insect development is compromised, then thousands of ecosystems could be destroyed! So, though it may not seems like it at first, the study of the affect of smoke on fruit fly development is incredibly important to our global ecosystem. That is why it is being studied.

I also have decided that i would like 4 vials of fies. one that is a control (no smoke added) one that i add a small amount of smoke to, one i add a medium amount of smoke to, and one i add a large amount of smoke to.
