2. Life Cycles By Kerry Hackman 2/14/06

3. Animal Environment Frogs live mostly in the water and sometimes on land. A frog protects itself by staying in the water or changing its coloring.

4. Life Cycle A frog has 4 stages in its life cycle. Egg Tadpole Tadpole (with legs and a shorter tail) Adult

5. Size & Appearance Some frogs are really small and some are bigger. It depends on the type of frog they are. Frogs can be many colors. There are red frogs and green frogs. A frog has a long sticky tongue for catching its food.

6. Food & Hunting Frogs eat bugs. Snakes eat frogs. A frog sticks out its tongue that is sticky to catch bugs to eat.

7. Babies A baby frog is called a tadpole. A tadpole is born from an egg. The baby frog or tadpole does not look like its parent. It will when it turns into an adult.

8. Reflection If I had to be a frog, I would not like it. Bugs are yucky and I wouldn’t want to be green. A frog’s life cycle is like a human’s life cycle because they both change a lot from babies to the adult stage.

9. Comprehension Questions Where does a frog live most of its life? What is the first stage in the life cycle of a frog? What does a frog look like? What does a frog usually eat? What is a baby frog called?
