I’ve been concentrating on ants during my insect unit for science. My 2nd graders are absolutely thrilled! I have an ant farm in the classroom that we track and observe through the month. I have compiled some really amazing video clips and activities that help students internalize the information. I had one of my students tell me today that “ants are weird… they’re like us..”. This comment was made after talking about the social patterns and behaviors of ants. I will be posting some neat materials soon! leave a comment if you want some links!
