Get up close and personal with ants or other insects, just like Brad and Clem did. Grab your field notebook, a pencil, and a magnifying glass, if you have one. Head outdoors and look for ants (or other insects) crawling on the sidewalk or crui the trunk of a tree. Try to follow one for a minute or two. What is it doing? Is it interacting with any other ants or insects? How many legs does it have, and what does its body look like? Jot down your observations in your field notebook. Then, follow another ant or insect. What does this one look like? Does it have the same number of legs and other body parts? Is it doing the same thing as the first insect?
