Nature Study Club Post 12

Spiders, Slugs and Worms! That is what we have been studying for science in the last couple of weeks.  Here are some pics from our Nature Study Club!
 We visited spider webs all over our backyard, we wanted to see if the spider would come out if it sensed motion in the web... they came out every time! I bet she was disappointed we were not lunch.
 We looked for different types of webs; sheet web, orb web and tangled webs... we think this is a sheet web.
 Slugs, we found a ton of them near our trees, they like wet places were there's lots of leaves... I wanted to pour salt on all of them.... after observing them for a bout 20 minutes we did just that!
Worms.. my faves! I never knew how beneficial they are to the soil.... we had a good amount which means we have good soil.. who knew!!?!?!
