Depending on the level of maturity of your class, the case study presented here could be fascinating. It focuses on the mating behavior and post-mating rituals of the Australian redback spider, which involves the female eating the male after fertilization. The PowerPoint is very interesting, but could be a classroom management nightmare with immature pupils. However, it may be a great lesson to use with an AP class or select learners in science club. Discussion questions are imbedded in the presentation, but there is no assignment beyond that. The video link on slide 14 does not work; there is another link in the teaching notes, but you may choose to just delete this slide.
