spider

AFTER you've done your research and concluded your experiments, it is time to prepare for the science fair. Ask specific questions about preparing for a science fair, including how to set up your display board, how to prepare a presentation, etc. (Please post questions about selecting a project or conducting your experiment by posting in the appropriate "area of science" forum.)

Hi,

Why do spiders make webs? Here is one answer:

Different spiders use webs for different purposes (catching prey insects, mating, building homes, riding the wind currents, etc.) The webs they spin are adapted to the intended use. See:

I suggest you visit a library and read some books about spiders. They are fascinating and very diverse creatures!

Best regards,
