SPIDER WEBS
Our Spider webs are used for studying. If you have a hard history or science quiz it is very helpful to have one of these webs, and it is an easy way for learning. And if you want you can add colour to make it fun to learn. We know, make learning fun can be almost impossible, but with the spider webs can make it fun! YAY!
SPIDERS
For homework one day we went out and caught spiders. Then the next day we brought them all in and learnt all about spiders. For their webs, there are seven parts to their Central Hub, there are anchor lines, bridge lines, radii, sticky spiral threads and the signal line where the spider is hiding behind a leaf. We also learned all the parts to the spiders body. It has a head with eight eyes and eight legs sticking out, two palps and two fangs. On the abdomen there are two spinnerets that produce the silk for the web. The fangs on the head produce a venom which it injects into its prey. Sometimes it will wrap up the prey and give it to the female and while she is eating it the male would mate with the female. Sometimes the female is finished eating before and she eats the male! If not, the male would run away and escape. However, not all males are lucky…some turn into a midnight snack for the female!
