Ant Bridges


๐Ÿœ In this activity, students will explore how ants build bridges using their bodies, considering different factors that affect their decision to build the bridge or take the longer route. They will apply math (estimation, speed, distance, and time) and critical thinking to determine when building a bridge might or might not be the best choice for ants.

๐Ÿ“ Suitable for Grade 3-5

โฐ Min. 30 minutes; Donโ€™t forget to start with the starter slides!ย 

Special thanks to Andy for the idea & inspiration
