Tad-tastic+Frog+Cycle

= Menu = Resource Centre Teacher's Corner Fun tasks for students = = = Welcome to the tad-tastic life of frogs! = Frogs are one of the worlds most well known amphibian and there are hundreds of different species around the globe! Some frogs are friendly, some are not so friendly, but they all start out the same way! This site will lead both teachers and students through the life cycle of the frog, with lots of fun, educational tasks to incoporate technology into learning.

This task is a part of the curriculum for year 2 students in Western Australia. The topic of learning about the frog cycle comes under biology, which is a branch of science, and for students attending year 2 the goal for this subject is to understand how living things grow, change and produce offspring. Teachers need to teach students how living things undergo changes and progress through the different stages of growth and development. They need to show students the main changes that the organism undergoes, by exploring these changes with animals such as butterflies or frogs. Lastly, students are required to learn and observe that animals have the ability to reproduce living things that are just like them.
