of art.These structures are also traps for other insects.?Spider webs are made from silk.Spiders make silk in their bellies.Their silk-making gland has many tiny holes.The silk goes through the holes to get outside the spiders body.When it meets the air,the silk forms a thread.The thread is very thin but very strong.Spiders can make different kinds of silk.Some contain a material that makes the silk sticky.Other silks do not have this material.A spider spins a thread behind itself everywhere it goes.This thread is called a dragline.If an enemy comes near,the spider retreats on its dragline.Being able to go backward on its own line is like having a self-made escape route!?Comprehension 25a?FCATReread for ComprehensionSummarize?Different spiders build different kinds of webs.The

great!Thanks,Mike!”Vocabulary?Word Parts?the Amazing Hamsterby Raymond So?Comprehension 27a?FCATMarco did some research on hamsters.A few days later,he shared his idea.“Im not boasting,but I think Ive got a really smart project.Ill build a maze.Ill see if Max can go through it faster in the morning or at night.I read that hamsters are more active at night.I think Max will be faster then.Want to help?”I did!We built a cardboard maze.Then we put a food pellet at one end and Max at the other.At first,Max started to swayback and forth on his little legs,as if rocking like that would help him figure out what was happening.Then,he smelled the food.Max scrambled quickly toward it,knocking down a wall as he hurried along.When he reached the food pellet,he seized it in his teeth.“Max did okay,but the maze fell apart!”I said.“Lets rebuildit.Ill get some new cardboard.”We made the maze again.The next morning Marco started timing Max.He timed Max twice a day for two weeksevery morning and every night.It turned out that Marco was right.Max was faster at night than in the morning.That little guy is one amazing hamster!Reread for ComprehensionMonitor Comprehension?Comprehension
