Hoike Little Fire Ant Activity

The Ho‘ike Little Fire Ant Activity is one of OISC’s most requested educational resources. It’s ideal for students grades 4- 8, but can be adapted up to grade 12. Students participating in this activity have provided nearly 3,000 ant samples from Oahu alone…awesome job!

  •  IN-PERSON EDUCATION: A true Citizen Scientist activity! OISC leads this two-part classroom activity studying the little fire ant (Wasmannia auropunctata) in Hawai‘i. Students will learn about ants in Hawai‘i, their impacts and biology, conduct little fire ant tests, and identify their samples. Student samples also provide valuable data and help support early detection efforts of LFA on O‘ahu.
