Ants: Keeping Kids Motivated to Learn



When my children were young, during the summer months, I would always pick with my children a topic for the summer. One summer we chose Bees. We did everything bees. We studied about them, read about them, wrote about them, and constructed art and cooking projects about them. It was a great way to keep my kids engaged during the summer months. Ants would make a great summer topic!

While none of us appreciates ants in our homes, they can be a welcome sight in the classroom or home...under the right circumstances. Ant farms keep these small insects contained, yet visible. 

Traditional sand ant farms or “space age” gel farms will captivate your students or children! Check them out at Amazon or Steve Spangler.com.
