 * __Ant Baiting Lab__**

__Ant Bait__:
Karo Syrup(3)

__Location__:
Thick woods(3), Sunny Grass(3), and Shaded Asphalt(3)

__Basic Design__:
Sticky paper with karo syrup in the bottle cap in the center of the paper. One paper with a bottle cap filled with karo syrup at each site.

__Procedure__:
1. Bring bring out samples. 2. Set up lab station. 3. Observe and record data.
 * Period 1**

4. Photograph samples. 5. Count how many ants were on sample. 6. Observe and record data.
 * Period 5**

7. Photograph samples. 8. Observe and record data. 9. Bring in lab samples.
 * Period 6**

 * Independent Variable:**
 * Location of bait**


 * Dependent Variable:**
 * Number of ants**


 * Notes: 9/19- Set up and observe location. No ants found during 1st period. Temperature and time came into effect in observation.**
 * 9/19- Observe location outdoors. No ants found during fifth period. Karo syrup wasn't even touched.**


 * 9-19 period 6: We observed no ants. Our location did not attract any ants. We think that the temperature had an effect on the ants activity.**
 * We need to find a more active location.**


 * 9/26 period 6: We observed many ants in and around the oil based tuna. We saw very little activity around the water based tuna.**
