Just go into the Park and into the garden and take about 15 ants to populate the colony, put them inside the Antquarium, put the cover back on and watch.

The concept of Antquarium was developed by NASA in space exploration programs for the United States. The idea was to bring an ant colony in space so that astronauts could study the behavior of insects in zero gravity.
