- For any one ant, try and make a small mark with a pencil near its position when it has just crawled on to the sheet of paper.
- Keep marking its position after a few seconds as it moves along on the sheet of paper.
- After some time, shake the paper free of the sugar and the ants.
- Connect the different points you have marked, with arrows, to show the direction in which the ant was moving.
