... Responses of Maggots Planning Aim The object of the experiment is to see how maggots respond to certain stimuli such as light. The maggots are dropped onto some paper and how far they travel is recorded. My experiment is how the stimuli are affected by temperature. The maggots should respond to the different climates quite well as they have a nervous system. My hypothesis is that when the maggot is put in warm conditions then onto the paper it will move further than if the maggot is put in cold conditions. This is because the maggot's reactions should be slowed down the colder it is because the maggot is trying to maintain body heat. The warmer the substance that the maggot was in the further it will move along the paper. The maggot should move along the paper. The maggot's central nervous system (CNS) should make the maggot move more when warm than when
