We learned that spiders don't have teeth to chew their food like we do! They first inject the captured insect with poison that turns their insides to liquid. The spider can then suck out the juice. Eww, huh? Well, we took something hard and solid- a sugar cube- and put it in water (the poison). We watched as the sugar cube dissolved and then we acted like spiders, and drank the mixture with a straw. Most of them drank it right up (not something I would have done!), while others could barely taste it before throwing it away! ha! :)
I think we learned that we like our teeth!
