Honey pot Ants and Oobleck

We have found some great documentaries at the library, and one was about ants. The girls were fascinated by the honey pot ant that uses members of the colony as living food storage. BBC made a whole documentary about them called Empire of the Desert Ants in 2011.

We also made Oobleck with cornstarch and water, and with soap. It was very fun, but very messy.
