The purpose of this study is to investigate toddlers’ responses when they are listening to a biology story with special focus on ants. The method used was a teaching attempt that was supplemented by a video recording of the activi- ty. Four children in the age of about three years participated. The analysis was conducted based on a phenomenological approach. The results show that children's interest in ants during the storytelling activities varied over time. All the children showed interest at some parts during the activities. They showed this affective response through facial expressions, being focused, listening and being active. It seemed as if the pictures that were shown during the storytelling were of importance. To be able to be active was another factor identified having an impact on the outcome. Finally, some of the content in the story that surprised the children also seemed to have an effect. / Syftet med den här studien är att se vilken respons små barn visar när de får en saga berättad för sig i ämnet biologi med inriktning på myran. Metoden som användes var ett undervisningsförsök, som kompletterades med en videoinspelning av aktiviteten. Fyra barn i treårsåldern deltog. En fenomeno- logisk ansats användes för att analysera data. Resultatet visar att barnens intresse för myror varierade under sagoberättandet. Samtliga barn visade intresse under vissa delar av aktiviteterna. De visade sitt intresse genom olika ansiktsuttryck, genom att vara fokuserade, lyssnade och var aktiva. Det verkade som att bilderna som visades under sagoberättandet var betydelse- fulla. Möjligheten att få vara aktiv var en annan viktig faktor. Det verkade även som om delar av innehållet i sagan som skapade förvåning påverkade barnen.
