The Illinois Department of Natural Resources, in partnership with Northwestern University's Collaboratory Project, invites all 4th, 5th and 6th grade teachers to participate in the IDNR Illinois Biodiversity Spider Study. In this biodiversity project, students across Illinois will collect data on the life-cycle and activities of targeted spider populations in and around their school to help IDNR scientists learn more about spiders in Illinois.
Even though they've been around for about 350 million years, with over 40,000 different kinds of spiders in the world, there are lots of things we still do not know about spiders. IDNR scientists have invited students across Illinois to collect and report on the spider populations in and around their school throughout the year to help them learn more about the spiders of Illinois. With over 600 different species of spiders in Illinois, you can find out things nobody, not even scientists, knows!
Watch the scientists and some participating students!
