Summer Science Experiment

Well we have yet to finish school! But joy of joys this momma realized what a blessing in disguise that can be. With one needing to finish 2nd grade, another going to start 2nd grade...we were able to do science for both of them! WOOHOO!
A friend shared with me her ant experiment she did several years ago. We are studying insects. We didn't end up with the results we hoped for, momma was a wimp at the park. It was too hot to stay all day, so after a couple hours we packed up. We were hoping to catch a line of ants going between the spoons of food and the ant hill. We got ants on the spoons. We had food missing from the spoons two hours later...probably birds, but no line. Maybe next time. The next day we went to another park, the heat won out and we left before our ants were marching for us. Too bad we can't risk doing the experiment in the yard. That would be perfect.
