Without plants and animals, we would not be able to survive. Oceans and rivers have provided us fishes to eat. We domesticated some wild animals to become out livestocks that provides us milk, meat, and clothing. Wild canines became our hunting partners and bodyguards. Our forests are pollinated by bats and birds, squirrels and bees. From these forests we were able to build houses for shelter and fires to keep us warm. We have also used the woods to build ships to take us across oceans, and books

area of forest only a few minutes away from my house, I walked into a spider web that spanned from one side of the trail to the other. In movies, such a large spider web would definitely have been the web of a huge, monstrous spider, but it is never so in real life. This led me to wonder about spiders and the spiderwebs they spin. Why do large spiderwebs always mean that there is a huge spider nearby in movies? Do larger spiders actually make larger webs? Spiderwebs are unique structures made only

news article I have chosen is titled “Assassin bug lures spiders by mimicking prey”1. In this article, author Mark Kniver states that researchers observed assassin bugs (Stenolemus bituberus) preying on spiders by mimicking prey trapped in a web through a behavior called “aggressive mimicry”1. Stenolemus bituberus will first disturb one of the strands of a spider’s web, tricking the spider into thinking that it has caught a bug. As the spider approaches the source of the disturbance, the assassin

Bertha and her family were out on a hike in the woods when suddenly, SQUISH! Bertha heard a bug crush underneath her foot. “Eww,” she stated in disgust, “I just stepped on a spider!” Bertha desperately tried to get the spider guts off of her shoe as her dad said, “You should have watched where you were walking sweetie! That spider could have a family that it was trying to get back to!” Berthas dad had a thing about not killing bugs because he claims that what goes around comes around, but Bertha thought

plan was designed to be a cross curriculum lesson about spiders that incorporates the following subject areas: Science, Language Arts, and Visual/Performance Arts. This lesson will be taught during the month of October after students have gained prior knowledge through an insect unit that was taught the month before. (b.) The content object that I used in this lesson was for students to be able to identify important information about spiders. I think that providing students with background knowledge

When I woke up that beautiful Saturday morning I remembered that my cousin was coming over to help decorate our barn for Halloween. She had to do it for a service project with a friend; also she had to work for five hours. I was excited at first but then I remembered the ladders. “ Here are all the decorations that I want up,” Mom said, “and you have to put all of the garland up high so that none of the teenagers will knock them down.” “That is a lot of garland. Do we have to put them all

Where are you?” screams Sawyer. Sawyer now running through the halls of an abandoned building. Sawyer turns around feeling as he is being followed. A few minutes later Sawyer find Caytlan sitting in the hall, a puddle starting to form around her. He calls to her “Caytlan! Over here!”. She looks up to see Sawyer running

which Adam had gone. Every step he took creaked loudly in the silence. “There are a lot of spiderwebs, aren’t there,” Humbert said to himself, shining the light around the walls of the hallway. This house was old, but were there really this many spiders? Humbert found a door that had recently been opened judging by the lack of dust on the handle. The door squeaked open and Humbert shone the light from his phone inside. He was greeted with a horrible sight. The room was huge; the biggest room in
