Do you need an idea for your kids upcoming science experiment? This rainbow ants science experiment is simple, easy to create, and SO COOL! Find the instructions and a few tips on how to create this below.
I’m not a lover of ants. In fact I despise them. But after reading about this I thought wow – rainbow ants science experiment with kids! Only certain types of ants have transparent stomachs. So take that into consideration when doing this experiment. I also read the person taking the images used some paraffin in the water drops – so it wold hold the droplet shape (not sure how accurate that is). How about this idea for the kids school science fair?
