Observations

On the first day we took a pork shoulder and placed it on the ground in front of the school. Almost immediately flies started to come and gather by it. After a few days we came to check on it again and could see maggot eggs, flies, and wasps on it and on that day we put the thermometer. Then the third day that we went to see it it started to smell and we could see the maggots and collected maggots as samples. By this time the pork shoulder has gotten harder like leathery. The next day that we went we could see some of the maggots moving away from the shoulder and the smell got worst.
