Creepy, Crawly Spiders!

Today we read "Diary of a Spider", by Doreen Cronin.  We discussed our schema about spiders and we brainstormed questions that we would like answered about spiders.  

Here are some of the questions that we would like answered about spiders:


1. How long do spiders live?
2. Are spiders mammals?
3. How do spiders catch mosquitoes?
4. How do spiders shoot webs?
5. Do spiders get sick?
6. What kind of food do they eat?
7. I wonder if the tarantula is the biggest?
8. How log have spiders existed?
9. How do they travel and how fast can they go?


Then we watched a video about spiders to gain new information.    
Did you know that spiders have existed for over 300 million years!
