Antworks Deluxe Kit (Product Code: SLE/EZ/03) is a clear ant habitat filled with translucent nutrient gel, used to let students watch ants dig and extend a 3-D tunnel network in classrooms and science clubs. Instead of sand or soil, the habitat uses a highly nutritious, non-toxic gel, so every tunnel stays visible from the sides. This branded observation kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as one of its biology teaching aids for India.

An ant habitat turns animal behaviour into something a class can watch over days and weeks. Once ants are placed on the gel and the lid is secured, they start excavating; because the gel is translucent, students can follow each tunnel as it branches and deepens, note how the ants share work, and see how they carry excavated gel to the surface. It supports lessons on social insects, habitats, animal behaviour and the scientific method, with students keeping observation diaries and drawing the tunnel system as it develops.
To set up, use a thin probe to make a few small starting holes in the gel surface, add a small group of ants collected from one colony, and close the lid. Keep the habitat at room temperature, out of direct sunlight and away from heaters. Local rules on collecting and keeping insects should be followed, and ants should be released near where they were found at the end of the study.
The Antworks Deluxe Kit is a third-party branded product that ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, Haryana, sources and supplies to schools, colleges, hobby science centres and dealers in India and international markets. We can add it to a wider zoology or science kit order. Company information is on the ScienceLab profile page.

How does the Antworks Deluxe Kit work?
The Antworks Deluxe Kit is an ant habitat filled with a translucent, non-toxic nutrient gel. You make small starting holes in the gel, insert ants and secure the lid; the ants then dig a 3-D tunnel network that stays visible through the gel.
Are live ants included with the Antworks Deluxe Kit?
The listing for the Antworks Deluxe Kit does not say that live ants are included, so plan to collect a small group of local ants from one colony. Please confirm the kit contents with us through the contact page before ordering.
What is the gel in the Antworks Deluxe Kit?
The Antworks Deluxe Kit uses a highly nutritious, non-toxic, translucent gel in place of sand or soil. It serves as the material the ants tunnel through and as a nutrient source, and its clarity lets students see every tunnel.
Which age groups is the Antworks Deluxe Kit suitable for?
The Antworks Deluxe Kit suits primary and secondary classes and science clubs studying insects and behaviour, with adult supervision for collecting and inserting ants. Its listing gives no age grading, so teachers should judge suitability for their students.
