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.
