Ant Farm (activity)

An ant farm is a transparent enclosure that allows people to observe the activities and behaviors of ants in a controlled environment. Typically filled with soil or gel, it mimics the ants' natural habitat, enabling viewers to see how they dig tunnels, care for their queen, and work collaboratively to gather food. Ant farms are popular educational tools, demonstrating social structures, teamwork, and the ecosystem's role. They provide insight into the fascinating lives of ants and promote an appreciation for these industrious insects in a hands-on, engaging way.
