The other day we made Ink Tracking Tunnels and put them in the Horticulture Block. How you make them: Step 1 you get all your equipment. Which includes 2 milk bottles, red food colouring, a sponge, a craft knife, black plastic, cardboard and paper. Step 2: Cut off the top and bottom of the milk bottles. Step 3: In one of the bottoms of the milk bottles put the sponge in it and cut it so it fits. Step 4: Tape the 2 middle parts of the milk bottle together. Step 4: Wrap it in black plastic. Step 5: Cut the cardboard so it fits into the trap. Step 6: Cut the paper in half and put it on top of the cardboard in the trap. Step 7: Tip food colouring all over your sponge so it is saturated in it and take a decent scoop of peanut butter and plop it in the middle of the sponge. Step 8: Put the sponge in the middle of the trap and find a good spot to hide it. Lastly you wait and hope something will walk through it. The point of these are that if something walks through it you can see its footprint and study it. This was a very fun activity.
