We began our spider lab today and will be continuing the search throughout the week. We searched the perimeter of the soccer fields for spiders big and small. After finding a web and a spider, students made at least 10 qualitative and 10 quantitative observations about each. Then they completed detailed, colored, and labeled illustrations of their finds! To wrap it all up (no pun intended!) we will be writing creative stories, poems and/or songs about our spiders and their webs.
Take a few minutes this week to look around your house and yard for orb webs, funnel webs, sheet webs and tangle webs AS WELL AS garden spiders, funnel weavers, marbled orb weavers, and arrowhead micrathenas!!
