Science Class 5EP: SPIDERS

LAST YEAR, I DID A WORKSHOP ON SPIDERS . IT WAS FUN AND I LEARNED A LOT OF THINGS, I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

SPIDERS

1) My kingdom is an animal. The spiders are arachnids like scorpions

2) Relationships:

- Interspecific: Spiders are predators, for example, they eat flies.

- Intraspecific: Adult spiders are solitary animals and are related to those of the same species, for example, to reproduce. In this case, the male has to be careful that the female does not eat it.

3) Characteristics:

- Spiders have 8 legs and most have 8 eyes.
- Spiders do not have wings or antennae.
- Males typically lives less time than females and are smaller.
-All spiders have fangs and almost all have poison in them. Most poisons spiders do not harm people. Some of them can cause pain and a few, such as the Black Widow can cause death.
-All the spiders produce silk but not all spin webs.


4) Fun facts:

- Spiders have 8 legs with 6 joints on each leg. ¡That means you have 48 knees!

















- The biggest spiders, like Goliath Tarantula, can eat birds, frogs or lizards.

- The bite of the tarantula is as painful as the  sting of a wasp or bee but no more dangerous.
