im doing a science experiment at school
im feeding fruit flies caffeine to see if it changes the speed of the eggs or if it changes the behaviour

Hey

I have a couple sites off of Google that may help your research. Some are more complex than others so you can choose what works best for you. You may want to further verify the information on these sites or expand on them by researching topics mentioned in them.

The last site is an experiment similar to your expiriment.
