Frog "Hoppinings"

The second graders are into their second week of observing the life cycle of a frog. On Feruary 4th, they came up to the lab to observe some frog eggs that were only 5 days old. One week later, the students came back to see that the egg had changed into a small, wiggly, tadpole. The students discussed the changes that had occurred, and remembered that the process of changing was called "metamorphosis". The students will continue their observations and measurements over the next several months. We are all hoping that we will see the complete metamorphosis take place.
