Abstract
This step-by-step video guide shows teachers and parents how to use threads to make their own spider’s web on a card backing.
This classroom activity could be used as a main lesson activity to teach about threading and simple textiles hand-making skills. It could also be used as part of wider scheme of learning focussed on designing and making products within a Halloween-themed context, alongside other IET Halloween themed resources.
We’ve created this teaching resource design and technology activity to support the delivery of key topics within science.
Download the free activity sheets and supporting resources on our resource page for more detailed instructions, teachers notes and for optional extension work. These are free to download, and all the documents are fully editable, so you can tailor them to your students’ and your schools’ needs.
Please share your classroom learning highlights with us @IETeducation.
