Last week, Hope learned about "things close to the ground" for science. We read about all sorts of critters and got to choose an experiment to do. We covered a bit of bread with honey and put it on an ant hill at the corner of our street. This first picture is right after we put the bread down. It was late afternoon and the ants swarmed around it. The kids loved watching the ants pick pieces of the bread off and carry them down into the hill.
One fun part of homeschooling...they went swimming in the afternoon after finishing some writing :)
This was the bread the next morning...notice all the dirt that the ants dragged onto it...sticky feet! They moved much slower in the morning.
This is the drawing Hope did in her nature notebook. Notice the queen ant and all the forager ants collectong the bread! She's such a cutie!
