Ant Science
You can make your own ant farm with a clear Mason jar. Punch a few holes in the lid and then take the jar w/lid, a brown paper grocery bag to a nearby ant hill. Scoop the ant hill into the jar, put on the lid, and immediately put it in the bag and close it up. Leave it alone for 24 hours, then you can put a piece of cracker and a small piece of wet sponge on top of the dirt. They will have tunneled into the dirt by now. As long you keep the sponge moist, a small piece of food on top, and the ant farm in the paper bag when the kids aren't looking at it, your ant farm should last. It really does work once you get over your fear of messing with ants! 8-31-00 Purchase an ant farm at a school supply or discovery store. This is always a GREAT science area attraction! |
