Learn + Explore: Spiders, an Elementary Unit Study

This collection of activities is intended to be used as a week’s worth of special lessons for a spider themed study. However, you should use this collection as it best suits your family.

I have included tiered activities for different ability levels. Please choose the one(s) that will work best for you.

Additionally, this file includes a book list of great spider themed fiction and non fiction books for a special spider study.

To create the Spider Life Cycle spinner, begin by coloring the different stages of the life cycle. Then cut out both circles. Place the cover over the stages circle. Press a brad through the center black dot. Spin the spinner to see the different stages of spider growth.

I sincerely hope your family enjoys this activity set and that you have a wonderful spider study exploring and learning together!
