The tiny silver ant, known as the Cataglyphis bombycina, stays cool in the desert by foraging during the hottest parts of the day when temperatures can exceed 50°C (122°F). It has a reflective silver body that helps to deflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption. Additionally, the ant employs a unique behavior of running quickly to minimize exposure to the intense heat of the sand, allowing it to return to its nest for cooling when necessary. This combination of adaptations enables it to thrive in extreme desert conditions.

How do you explain transpiration to fist and second graders?

Transpiration is like how plants drink water and then let some of it go into the air. Imagine a plant sipping water through its roots, then breathing out tiny bits of water through its leaves, just like how we breathe out air. This helps the plant stay cool and healthy, just like how we stay cool when we sweat. So, transpiration is a way for plants to share water with the world!
