Start the class by reading a book about the life cycle of a frog. Here are some suggestions:
From Tadpole to Frog (Scholastic Science...
Frogs and Toads and Tadpoles, Too!...
Make your own Frog Life Cycle Diagram:
Cut out big blue circles in cardstock or construction paper
Glue foil circles on top (for the pond).
Draw a picture of a frog (on green construction paper or color green)
Draw tadpoles (on brown paper or color brown)
For the frog eggs cut out bubble wrap shapes and put black dots in the centre of the bubbles with permanent marker (this doesn't rub off, so is ideal)
Stick each item in order around the pond.
If you'd prefer not to have the children draw all of the shapes themselves, use the templates from the
Frog Life Cycle Craft
from DLTK's Crafts for Kids.
Hang the work of your students on the classroom bulletin board.
Next Day Extension
Read the Very Hungry Caterpillar to the classroom. Using the white board, compare the life cycle of a frog to that of a caterpillar.
You can use the
Felt Board templates
from DLTK's to compliment the story.
