Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Welcome to the Myrmecology Flex Class!

This class will help you with your first (or second or third) ant colony! You may have many questions about how to do this, and this is the perfect class for you! By the end of it, you will be an expert Myrmecologist, if you aren't one already! This is a Flex class, I will post a link to the class video. It is around 33 minutes long. I am very attentive to your questions. Send me a chat, and I will get back to you quickly. 

In this class, we will go over the incredible intricacies of an ant colony. Key vocabulary such as "Nanitics, Gamergate, Trophallaxis (and many more) will be explained. I will discuss the life cycle of ants. After this, we will learn how to start our own colonies! From finding a Queen (or buying one) to properly housing her and her future colony. We will learn what she needs to thrive and develop an amazing family of ants. When do I feed her? What do I feed her? Does she get cramped in the small space? These are all questions you may have. Don't worry! I will answer these in class. If you think of something that I haven't gone over, message me! 

This is an exciting class for all the scientist out there. What an amazing experience it is to watch a colony grow and thrive.

I will have a fun word search for the students with our key vocabulary words
