         This week in science we were told that we was going to have a cellar spider and we had to make a stable environment in the tanks that was giving to us. In class a to watch a video on how cellar spiders capture its prey.But before that happen their were papers all around the classroom that had to do with the ecosystem such as plant cells, chloroplast, carbon cycle, producers, decompose rs,and many more.We were given post its and had to write a definition as to what we know about that word. After that we got our tank and a white piece of paper and was told to sketch a picture as to what we want the ecosystem to look like for our spider. After days passed we went to Seward park to collect abiotic and biotic thing for the tank. My group got dead plants, sticks, little insects, a center pied, and other biotic and abiotic things. Abiotic is a nonliving thing and boitic is living things.

    I have learned many facts about cellar spiders and how the ecosystem works. I learned that cellar spider are often compared to daddy long legs because of their thin long legs. I also learned that cellar spiders like very dark places they are commonly found in the United States in houses or basements. I know that cellar spiders could only live up to a year and when it is ready to capture its prey, the spiders legs move in a 360 motion very rapidly that you cannot see the wrapping of the web.
