Slide2Example of an Absorb Activity: Life Cycle of a Frog(K-3 Appropriate Setting)
IntroductionFrogs spend their lives near water because they must return to the water to lay their eggs. Frogs eggs are called frog spawn. Frog spawn is laid in the water. When the frog spawn hatches into tadpoles, the tadpoles breathe with gills and swim using a tail. As they grow the tadpoles begin to lose their tail. They also grow legs and develop lungs for breathing air. Frogs eat insects , catching them with their long, sticky tongue. They also eat small fish and worms. In the winter frogs hibernate, that means they sleep very deeply. You might find them hibernating under stones or buried in mud or hiding in the bottom of ponds where they breathe by absorbing oxygen through their skin.

Slide6The Frog Life Cycle Visual Diagram begins as
tadpoles hatch from tiny eggs that are laid in masses in the water. The gill-breathing tadpole swims in the water. It eventually sprouts legs and absorbs its tail, becoming a froglet and then an adult. The adult breathes air and has no tail. After mating, the female lays eggs and the cycle begins again.
Slide7Did you Know?
Frogs are amphibians because they start their frog life cycle as eggs in the water and then turn into tadpoles, which have gills and also live in the water. It isn’t until a tadpole turns into a frog that it can live outside of the water, but it will still need to get in the water to drink and to cool off. Frogs don’t actually drink water with their mouths; they drink it through their skin. A frog’s skin absorbs water when it is in the water so its body gets all of the hydration that it needs that way and the frog doesn’t need to drink with its mouth. Frogs are cold blooded. That means that the body temperature of a frog is the same on the inside as it is on the outside. That is why frogs need to be near water so that they can jump in and cool off on hot days. Not all frogs are green. There are hundreds of species of frogs and each one looks different. Some frogs are red and some are yellow and some are brown. All of the different species of frogs have different patterns on their skin, too. A frog won’t turn into a prince, no matter how many times you kiss him!

Slide10Determined Knowledge Gained
Slide11egg
- Tiny frog eggs are laid in masses in the water by a female frog. The eggs hatch into tadpoles
.
tadpole
- (also called the polliwog) This stage hatches from the egg. The tadpole spends its time swimming in the water, eating and growing. Tadpoles breathe using gills and have a tail
.
tadpole
with legs
- In this stage the tadpole sprouts legs (and then arms), has a longer body, and has a more distinct head. It still breathes using gills and has a tail
.
froglet
- In this stage, the almost mature frog breathes with lungs and still has some of its tail.
adult
- The adult frog breathes with lungs and has no tail (it has been absorbed by the body).
