Ant Cafe

Today during science we discussed what an ant might eat if they were to eat out at a restaurant.  The girls ideas were fabulous--we had everything from hot dogs to pizza.  We narrowed our choices down to marshmallows, chocolate sauce, mustard, applesauce, ketchup, graham crackers and dog food--which is how our Ant Cafe was created.  The girls put on their"scientist" hats and predicted what the ants would like the most.

 

We then created our masterpiece entree.

 

And here is the Ant Cafe in action.

 

 

Unfortunately, the ants did not cooperate (cue the sad music).  We think with this cold spell that they have already started hibernating.  As a class, we decided to hang on to our prediction chart till the spring when the weather is more conducive to ants eating/crawling everywhere.  Another science experiment bites the dust....
