EDN 113 ASSIGNMENT 3A  A FROG'S LIFE Presentation INTRODUCTION: Our theme aligns to the Science learning area of the Australian Curriculum for Year 2 students addressing the sub strand "living things grow, change and have offspring similar to themselves." www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/Year2 A cross curriculum approach will be incorporated for the Frog's Life Cycle. Other subject areas covered will be maths, english, art, society and environment. OVERVIEW: TOPIC: A Frog's Life Cycle SUBJECT AREA: Science Understanding: Biological Sciences: Living things grow, change and have offspring similar to themselves (ACSSU030) YEAR: 2 TIME FRAME: 6 weeks Our theme is designed for year 2 students to observe, compare and predict the lifecycle of a frog. The activity will incorporate observing the growth in frogs using the school frog pond. Students will engage with a range of technologies incorporating digital cameras, computers, websites (blogs using Yola) and power point presentation. The activity will be conducted over a 6 week period, requiring students to:
 * Create their own website using Yola to blog their information and reflections
 * Research the phases of the life cycle of a frog, one phase per week
 * Place information on their own website
 * Take photos at the frog pond in relation to the different stages of development being observed that week
 * Write weekly on the phases observed
 * Compare the changes and adaptations previously seen and why they occurred
 * Reflect on the life cycle
 * Create a timeline of the frog's life cycle
