TWIS #11

What I Did

 We drew a picture of what we wanted our tank to look like and what we wanted to put in the tank.
This week we went on a little field trip to the park to look for things that we can put in our tank. We found sticks so the spider can climb, a few leaves,some rocks,worms,and we made a little pond.We then researched spiders and I learned a lot about that.

What I Learned

What I learned from drawing the picture is that you need to make the spider feel as if it were at home.What I learned from the park was that there isn't a lot of things that you need for the tank.Also that its good to have other living organisms in the tank like worms. And from the research I learned that when the grow bigger they have to shed their exoskeleton until they are full sized.Also when they try to attract a mate they will pluck their web like a harp.My team mates learned that you have to dig deep for worms and other bugs,spiders have 6-8 eyes,and they have 8 legs.
