The Tiny Teacher - Textbook Questions

Q1. The story of an ant's life sounds 'almost untrue'. Why?

Because it is so organized, disciplined, and hardworking that it seems impossible for such tiny creatures to have such a complex society.

Q2. What is the 'grub'?

The grub is the baby ant or larva that hatches from the egg. It needs to be fed and cleaned.

Q3. How long does it take for a grub to become a complete ant?

It takes two or three weeks to become a cocoon, and then three more weeks for the cocoon to break and the perfect ant to appear. So, about 5-6 weeks.

Q4. Why do the worker ants carry the grubs about?

They carry them about for daily airing, exercise, and sunshine.

Q5. What do ants learn in the first few weeks?

They learn their duties from old ants—cleaning, building, hunting, and guarding.
