You At The Zoo - Wild Partnerships
Special | 4m 36s
A partnership between leaf cutter ants and the fungus they cultivate for food.
In this video, fourth grade students learn about a unique, mutually-beneficial partnership between leaf cutter ants and the fungus they cultivate for food. The You at the Zoo team then uses the inquiry process to make predictions and test their hypothesis about which ants travel faster –those carrying leaves, and those without.
