En esta tira cómica, Mateo y Cientina observan unas hormigas para contestar algunas preguntas: ¿Qué comen las hormigas? ¿Si estuviera bloqueado su camino al hormiguero, podrían encontrar su camino de nuevo? En una investigación sencilla, los participantes observarán el comportamiento de unas hormigas trabajadoras y sus reacciones cuando bloquean su camino con palos, comida y otros materiales.
