Task- Stages involved in the lifecycle of a frog

Over the next two weeks you will be put into groups of four. You will then meet your new tadpole that your teacher will supply, in which she has raised until the tadpole has grown legs. With the correct daily care such as feeding them, you will watch them develop into mature frogs. Throughout the next 11 weeks of the school term this task requires you to research the frogs habitat, food sources and life cycle (websites provided by teacher). During the progression of this task we ask that you keep a journal which will contain all your notes and worksheets you have __completed__ as the cycle has progressed. Your teacher will provide you with: -Tadpoles -Tadpole and frog food -Tadpole environment -A4 excercise journals -A research worksheet at the beginning of your task -Observation worksheets weekly -A digital camera

After your tadpole has grown into an adult frog your task is still not __complete__. The only thing left to do is to create a PowerPoint to present your information to the class. For 11 weeks at the beginning of the school day you will need to: -Check your tadpoles water, sun exposure and feed them

Once a week, for the 11 weeks, on the designated lesson allocated by your teacher you will need to: <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">-Take a photo of your tadpoles development <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">-Make a new journal page for each week and record your observations (worksheets provided by teacher).

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">After the 11 week term ends, your adult frogs will be released. Then you will need to use your notes and photos to __create__ your power point presentation to the rest of your class mates.
