“*Dr. Kenneth Zike has said that at least 50% of the children with learning problems referred to the neurological clinic at his hospital had had no traumas, no birth injuries, and no other physical deviations. Their trouble seemed to come from pressure - pressure to do a task that they did not have the maturity to do.”

~Borrowed from Robert Jackson on the world wide web.

Ask your child about our ants!  No, we don't have ants in our pants.  We have an ant house that is made out of a gel that the ants can tunnel through, eat, drink, and stays clean from bacteria and fungus.  In 2003, the astronauts on the space shuttle took ants into outer space to study them.  They needed to come up with a gelatin material that kept the ants safe during take off.
Ask your child what a Myrmecologist studies.   
We have been observing the ants and learning a great deal about ants.  I will post pictures very soon!  In the meantime, here are some photos taken from this website where you can learn more about our ant farm!
