Crafted for middle school science educators, this resource invites your students to learn more about the enduring relationship between spiders and the autumn season while developing essential scientific argumentation skills.

Ever wondered why spiders seem to appear more often in the fall, enough to become a staple in Halloween decorations everywhere?

This comprehensive CER pack demystifies this phenomenon while providing you with a versatile toolkit to guide your students through scientific argumentation.

⭐ What's Inside the Pack:

✔️ Engaging Slide Deck: Immerse your students in the science of spiders and their connection to Halloween using our interactive Google Slides and Jamboard formats.

✔️ Aligned Student Materials: Our pack includes practical graphic organizers, evidence catchers, peer review checklists, and three levels of rubrics - all reusable, making it a valuable addition to your teaching resources.

✔️ CER Visual Notes Resources: Utilize our four visually appealing CER visual notes resources to simplify complex concepts and help your students connect the dots.

➥ Hint: It has more to do with their life cycle and mating behaviors than it does to do with "escaping the cold" as I always thought growing up!
