Download or read book Ant Homes Under the Ground written by Jean C. Echols and published by Great Explorations. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ant Homes Under the Ground features playful activities for young children, ages three to six, that delve into many aspects of these ubiquitous and fascinating social insects. Students learn about ant body structure, jobs, and homes by observing ants in nature and in an ant farm. They role-play ants following a scent trail and dragging food through a tunnel-like structure. A large Ant Nest poster, included with the guide, is assembled in stages to highlight tunnels, ant food, social structure, and life cycle. A culminating cooperative logic game called Fill the Hill brings together knowledge the children have gained with stimulating mathematical and cooperative skills. In addition to the wealth of life science learning, the natural integration of science and math is a strength of this unit.TABLE OF CONTENTS: Introduction Activity 1 Ants, Ants, Ants Acitivity 2 Ants and Ant Tunnels Activity 3 What Happens Inside an Ant's Home? Activity 4 How Ants Grow and Change Activity 5 Fill the Hill Background Information Resources Literature Connections Assessment Suggestions Summary OutlinesExpanding progressively on the salient point (yes, ants), peppered with creature graphics and endless variations on an ant nest, this book makes formiculture look beside the point. Geared for youngsters three to six, it's more visual and game happy then Terrarium Habitats, but provides the same in-depth background for adults. Its big black-and-white sectional poster, assembled as you work through the activities, is the prize perk. And, like its counterpart guides, Ant Homes plugs for gentle stewardship of the live creatures it solicits for hands-onexploration.-Whole Earth Magazine, Spring 1999

Download or read book Ant Architecture written by Walter R. Tschinkel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unprecedented look at the complex and beautiful world of underground ant architecture Walter Tschinkel has spent much of his career investigating the hidden subterranean realm of ant nests. This wonderfully illustrated book takes you inside an unseen world where thousands of ants build intricate homes in the soil beneath our feet. Tschinkel describes the ingenious methods he has devised to study ant nests, showing how he fills a nest with plaster, molten metal, or wax and painstakingly excavates the cast. He guides you through living ant nests chamber by chamber, revealing how nests are created and how colonies function. How does nest architecture vary across species? Do ants have "architectural plans"? How do nests affect our environment? As he delves into these and other questions, Tschinkel provides a one-of-a-kind natural history of the planet's most successful creatures and a compelling firsthand account of a life of scientific discovery. Offering a unique look at how simple methods can lead to pioneering science, Ant Architecture addresses the unsolved mysteries of underground ant nests while charting new directions for tomorrow’s research, and reflects on the role of beauty in nature and the joys of shoestring science.

A complex system of tunnels and chambers, a colony may be home to as many as 500,000 ants. The insects are highly organized and surprisingly strong when they all work together.

Download or read book Dr Eleanor s Book of Common Ants written by Eleanor Spicer Rice and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-08-03 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that for every human on earth, there are about one million ants? They are among the longest-lived insects—with some ant queens passing the thirty-year mark—as well as some of the strongest. Fans of both the city and countryside alike, ants decompose dead wood, turn over soil (in some places more than earthworms), and even help plant forests by distributing seeds. But while fewer than thirty of the nearly one thousand ant species living in North America are true pests, we cringe when we see them marching across our kitchen floors. No longer! In this witty, accessible, and beautifully illustrated guide, Eleanor Spicer Rice, Alex Wild, and Rob Dunn metamorphose creepy-crawly revulsion into myrmecological wonder. Emerging from Dunn’s ambitious citizen science project Your Wild Life (an initiative based at North Carolina State University), Dr. Eleanor’s Book of Common Ants provides an eye-opening entomological overview of the natural history of species most noted by project participants—and even offers tips on keeping ant farms in your home. Exploring species from the spreading red imported fire ant to the pavement ant, and featuring Wild’s stunning photography, this guide will be a tremendous resource for teachers, students, and scientists alike. But more than this, it will transform the way we perceive the environment around us by deepening our understanding of its littlest inhabitants, inspiring everyone to find their inner naturalist, get outside, and crawl across the dirt—magnifying glass in hand.
