VimeoTime-lapse: Ants in Space/Ants on Earth with a twist.
Compare the ants at warp speed, side-by-side! This video shows footage of the Ants in Space experiment on the ISS, alongside footage of an Earth-based control experiment. Now sped up 4,000% from their original versions, the videos compress each experiment into a busy 110 seconds, showing the patterns and movements of ants exploring their respective habitats. This is the same footage as the "Ants Gone Wild" video with the addition of an effect that shows the motion trail of the ants for a short amount of time as they explore their habitat.

Ants are able to coordinate their activities, even though no single ant (not even the queen) directs their behavior. How do they do it? Build your own ant habitat and compare the search behaviors of ants on Earth to those living on the ISS.
