Ant+Baiting+Lab+Group+G


 * __Ant Baits:__** Honey


 * __Basic Design:__** Sticky paper with bait placed in a bottle cap at a chosen position. We will use three flags marking three different positions. There will be three sheets of sticky paper with bait at each position. We will place one flag next to a rotten log in the woods, another one in the grass, and the last next to the school building.


 * __Independent Variable:__** The location


 * __Dependent Variable:__** The number of ants

__**Materials:**__
 * Sticky Paper
 * Honey
 * Bottle Caps
 * Notebook
 * Pen
 * Flags

__**Location:**__ In the woods, in the field, and next to the school building wall.

__**Procedure:**__ Step 1: Place bait in designated location on the sticky paper. Step 2: Observe number of ants and take pictures. Step 3: Record the data and bring materials back inside.

__**Question:**__ Does location influence the number of ants that come to honey bait?

__**Hypothesis:**__ We think the most ants will come to the bait placed in the woods next to a rotten log.
