Ant Farm

Day Adult Education
Christiansted, Virgin Islands
People often think of insects as pests, but insects are valuable members
of the natural world. In this lesson, students investigate the extraordinary
manner in which insects live and interact. Student groups collect different
types of insects and study their habits. Students identify different species
and record observation data into laptop computers, then use mathematical
formulas to analyze the data. Groups collect ants and create ant colonies.
As a final activity, groups present their findings to the class, using their
laptops.
