For out current science termite project, we housed the termites in a simple clear plastic jar. Inside the jar we put a special dirt like mix and added water. Then we added a small square chuck of tree wood, when we added the Termites.
The changes that happened over time in the Termite jar were very slow. Even though the Termites quickly made tunnels in the dirt mixture, the rest of the changes in the jar, happened slow, they barely ate the wood for the first couple weeks and some of them died.
Overall I Enjoyed the Termite unit Project, it was verry fun and interesting. My lest favorite part was when we did dent get anything on our microscope that one day in class.
