Spiders are probably my least favorite insect, animals, bug to study. I mean, they’re creepy, crawly and find their way in to anywhere…seriously. But I do have to admit, from a scientific point of view, they are quite fascinating. Not to mention their webs – works of art. Just make sure you don’t walk in to one or you will automatically have some karate moves.
Spring is quickly approaching and spiders will be out in full swing. Use that to your advantage and create a few homeschool lessons. I have gathered some great resources here for you today to use as you study these creepy…er, I mean amazing creatures!
