Guiding Questions Day One
  1. Why is it important to map the location of the ants?
Because we wanted to know what location do the ants always build their colony, and we also wanted to find the reason.
  1. Given what you’ve seen of the ants, what factors my be interesting to study.
There are always be millions of ants stay and work together. I want to know why there are huge ants and they still can work and live.
  1. What characteristics of the mounds or the ants did you notice as you recorded their location?
The colony was like a small mountain or a hill, ants going around the mountain and collect the factors make it bigger. I saw they took the dead insect from the path to their home. I think that they eat the dead insect to get the energy.





Guiding Questions
  1. What are some of the biotic and abiotic factors surrounding the ant colonies?
 Obviously the biotic surrounding by the an colonies are the ants. And the ibiotic stuff I think are the grass and plants.
      2. Where do the ants get the energy needed to live and thrive? Think about the path that energy takes throuth the ecosystem.
In my opinion, ants may take the energy from natural, I have seen once time they took a dead insect from the path to their colony. I think that might be the food or energy fot the ants.
      3.What factors would you like to measure next?
 Luminosity.
