Methods Intro Rough Draft 9/17

Submitted by jnduggan on Mon, 09/17/2018 - 11:28

In the METHODS project, I will search and find a spider web that someone else can replicate.  In order to find a spider, I will look in the corners of my friend’s apartment. From prior experience, I know that spiders tend to make their webs in generally undisturbed areas.  Knowing this fact, I plan to look in corners that are blocked by some type of furniture. That furniture will block humans from entering that area making a better environment for spiders to make their webs.  I will also look outside between fence posts because these are easily replicable.

    With the photos I take, I will create a multi-panel scientific figure that will enable someone else to reproduce a similar spider web.  A map and a meticulous description of my methods will accompany the scientific figure to allow for easier reproduction of my spider web.
