How Strong are you?

Book CoverDid you know that if a spider could make a web where each silk strand was as thick as a pencil, its web could stop a Boeing 747 in mid flight? Spider silk is the strongest string-like protein produced by any insect on earth. Ounce for ounce, spider silk is stronger than nylon and stronger than steel. It’s even stronger than Kevlar, which is used in bulletproof vests. No wonder they are so good at catching flies! In the book How Strong is it? you can find out other interesting stuff, like comparing the woodchopping power of a shark and a chainsaw and just how many princes could climb up Rapunzel’s hair. Check it out!
