TWIS #12

               This week in science i didn't really do much. This week I made a little booklet for my spider observation project. I made spider man as the cover page of it. I put like the biotic and abiotic things of my spider tank in it. I put the definitions of the different symbiotic relationships and I also put examples of it. I also put in some information of the cellar spider like what does it eat, what environment it lives in, what predators does the cellar spider have you know simple questions like that. I also fed my spider a little bit of food. You can tell that he was hungry because it started going crazy all around the tank when we started putting the fruit flies in. I'm sure he was going crazy because of starvation. I also had to do a couple of packets with things that have to do with consumers, producers, food pyramids stuff like that. Thats what I did this week in science.
              This week in science I learned what was mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Mutualism is when both organisms get a benefit to something. So like its good for both organisms. Commensalism is when it benefits one animal but it don't really do anything to the other animal. Parasitism is when one animal gets a benefit to but it would be bad for the other animal. I also learned that the cellar spider eats fruit flies. I knew they eat some type of insect. I also learned that the cellar spider starts to create their web fast. I haven't seen a spider create their web any faster then the cellar spider. But then again I didn't really see any other spider create their web. One thing about the cellar spider is that I want to be able to see the web. The web is very thin and clear. That's what I learned this week in science.
