Tag: Summer Learning Journey

For this step it up task we had to make a spider web made out of paper with the patterns and our cutting skills, we had to fold it and cut it in specific ways to make the spider web pattern appear. One fact I learnt about spider webs, they are both made out of strong protein fibers stronger than steel by weight.

For this activity we neeeded to draw our own spider webs and explaing how spiders make there spiders webs.  First we watched a video article called “Spider Webs: Nature’s Tiny Masterpieces”. Then we needed to research and learn how spiders make webs:

• Making liquid silk inside their body.

• Pushing that liquid out through tiny holes (spinnerets) on their rear end.

• The silk instantly hardens into a thread when it hits the air.

• They use their legs to shape the threads into a web.

For this Summer Learning Journey activity we needed to create a animal (Hybrid) using our creativity and imaginary, our animal is a hybrid of a chameleon, tortoise, leopard and elephant and we’ve named it Lepeteleon.

The abilities from the leopard grants speed up to 58 km per hour, a shell from a Tortoise giving it a strong armor for protection. Also the powers to camouflage with it environment/surroundings from the chameleon and lastly the strong legs from a elephant.
