Spider Venom-Recluses and Widows
Class experience
US Grade 5 - 8
We will review spider and insect anatomy but focus on black widows and brown recluses. We will review poison vs venom and antivenin, and discuss the effects of neurotoxic, cytotoxic and hemolytic types of venom. If time allows, we’ll go over some myths and look-a likes. I use lots of pictures and have some specimens to show. Asking questions is encouraged!
Students should be able to identify black widows and brown recluses and have an understanding of the effects from different types of venom.
I’ll post some anatomy and or spider diagrams.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
