| There are a lot of great kids science projects that are | | | | plain water in one of the other corners. Make sure you |
| fun to try. Physical science, Biology and Astronomy | | | | don't put too much water into each corner as you |
| are fun categories for kids to experiment with. A good | | | | don't want to drown the ants. |
| kids science experiment is to see which taste ants are | | | | Observe the ants for a while and see which water |
| more attracted to; plain water, sugar water, or salt | | | | they go to most. Do they prefer the sugar water, salt |
| water. To do this you can gather a bunch of ants, likely | | | | water or plain water? You could also try kids science |
| from your own backyard or sidewalk near your house | | | | projects with different types of food such as cheese, |
| and put them into a small aquarium. Get two bowls | | | | bread and jam and see which kind of food the ants |
| and in the first bowl make a mixture of sugar and | | | | prefer eating. Make sure you only use small amounts |
| water. In the second bowl make a mixture of table salt | | | | of food in the aquarium or they're going to grow mold |
| and water. Then you can use an eye dropper to put | | | | because ants don't eat too much, even if you have a |
| some sugar water into one corner of the aquarium, | | | | lot of ants you'll only want to put in a few crumb size |
| and salt water into another corner. Then put some | | | | pieces of food at a time. |
