Learn about the web of a spider, and use this web for a fun game!
Even though all spiders produce silk, not all use it to spin elaborate webs to trap in-sects in. The silk can be used to help them climb, form smooth walls for burrows, build egg sacs, wrapping prey and for many other applications. A spider’s silk is a thin, strong protein strand, which for its weight is as strong or stronger than steel.
