Science 10 Project Presentation
Hello everyone. I\u2019m going o present the project I\u2019ve done:\u201cFascinating
Creatures: Spider and its Silk\u201d.

You can find spiders almost everywhere in the world; under the ground up to
the highest mountain, deserts to your house\u2013 especially your bathroom
because they need water to survive.

Spiders are not insects; they are below the class of Arachnids with scorpions. A spider\u2019s anatomy has 2 parts: cephalothorax and opisthosoma. Cephalothorax is the part which included its head and thorax, and opisthosoma, or abdomen, included its stomach and spinnerets.

Most spiders are not that dangerous and in facts, they can help human to
catch little tiny harmful insects like flies, mosquitoes, and etc. Spiders can walk
on the walls and ceilings because they have special pads on their feet.

Some of the spiders can do regeneration like a starfish, if a spider loses a leg it
will grow back.

That was some basic knowledge about spiders and now I\u2019m going to introduce you about spider\u2019s silk. Spider\u2019s silk is a very strong fibre which can compare to a high-grade steel and it is also very ductile.

The structure of a spider silk is made up of crystalline connected with
amorphous linkages. A crystalline is build up by beta-sheets.

Spiders use their spinnerets to produce silks; a spider has 2 to 8 spinnerets
usually in pairs. Normally, spiders use their silk to make a web, climbing on the
walls, flying with the wind, and form smooth walls for their hole.

Now I\u2019m going to talk a little bit about spider webs. The common types of
spider webs are orb web and triangle web. The reason of why a spider would
not get trapped in its web it\u2019s because it has an oily substance covered its
body.

Spider webs will lose its stickiness after a time. Some of the spiders would eat
