Giant Ant Farm
Giant Ant Farm (Product Code: SLE/EZ/22) is a large ant habitat used to watch ants dig tunnels and organise their colony over several weeks in classrooms and science clubs. At 15 x 10 in, it comes with clean tunnelling sand, a 24-inch clear connecting tube, a tunnel starter tool and a water feeder, giving students everything needed except the ants to begin observing. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Giant Ant Farm Used For?
Ants are social insects, and an ant farm lets a class see what normally happens underground: workers digging and extending tunnels, carrying sand grains to the surface, moving food and caring for the colony. Because the tunnels change from day to day, students can sketch or photograph the farm at the same time each day and build a record of how the network grows, a long-running project in social insect behaviour.
Use the tunnel starter tool to make a few shallow openings that encourage the ants to begin digging, and keep the sand lightly moist with the water feeder. Keep the farm out of direct sunlight and away from heaters, feed sparingly, and never mix ants from different colonies, as they will fight. It adds a living element to school biology lab equipment and nature study.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of ant farms, for example one per class or one per science club.
- Whether you need help with a source of ants, since live ants are not listed as included.

Frequently Asked Questions
What comes with the Giant Ant Farm?
The Giant Ant Farm comes with clean tunnelling sand, a 24-inch clear connecting tube, a tunnel starter tool and a water feeder. The habitat itself measures 15 x 10 in, large enough for a class to watch at the same time.
Are live ants included with the Giant Ant Farm?
The listing for the Giant Ant Farm does not include live ants. Please ask through our contact page before ordering; many schools collect a small number of local ants from one colony under a teacher's supervision.
What is the tunnel starter tool on the Giant Ant Farm for?
The tunnel starter tool supplied with the Giant Ant Farm is used to make a few shallow openings in the sand. These give newly added ants a place to begin digging, so tunnels appear sooner.
How do I keep ants healthy in the Giant Ant Farm?
Keep the Giant Ant Farm out of direct sunlight and away from heat, keep the sand lightly moist using the water feeder, and give only small amounts of food. Remove uneaten food so mould does not develop.
What can students learn from the Giant Ant Farm?
The Giant Ant Farm lets students observe social insect behaviour, including tunnelling, division of work and food handling. Daily sketches or photos turn it into a long-running project on animal behaviour and data recording.
Who supplies the Giant Ant Farm?
