Science 4: Life Cycle of A Frog

The document discusses the life cycle stages of frogs, from eggs to tadpoles to froglets and finally adult frogs. It explains that frogs lay eggs in water that hatch into black tadpoles with tails and gills. As the tadpole grows, it develops legs and lungs while its tail shrinks, eventually disappearing when it becomes a froglet that can live on land as an adult frog.

What does it
mean when
they are so
noisy?
Frogs produce noises to
attract mates, defend
territories, scare predators
and identify themselves.

The most common calls are


those used to defend
territory and attract mates
during the breeding season.

Group 1: “Arrange Me In Order!”
Group 2: “Talk About Me!”
Group 3: “Describe Me!”
Group 4: “Call Me A Sweet Name!”
 How do frogs started their lives?

 How do frogs differ from a


tadpole? How are they the same?

 Do you know animals similar to a


frog?
Do you think they also have
similar life cycle stages? Why?
PRESENTATION OF
OUTPUT
Frogs are animals that are classified as amphibians. They are very
common in all places of our country. To have a young animal, there must
be a mother or a female to produce the eggs and a father or male to
fertilize the eggs.
The female frog lays thousands of jelly-covered eggs in the water or in
ponds. As the eggs pass out of the female, the male frog immediately
spreads sperms over them. The sperms enter the eggs and fertilize them. It
takes about ten days for the eggs to hatch. The eggs of a frog are black and
white. The white part is the yolk, which contains stored food for the young
frog when it first hatches from the egg. The black part is the living embryo,
which will develop into a young frog.
Eggs hatch into tiny tadpoles. Each tadpole is black in color and has an
oval head and a tail. They breathe like fish. They get oxygen from the water
through tiny gills. They swim, eat and grow. The tadpole uses its tail to
swim.
As the tadpole grows it sprouts legs. It is now called froglet, and its tail
begins to shrink.The froglet continues to grow and front legs appear. The
lungs begin to develop. Its eyes, and mouth grow larger and the tail keeps
shrinking.
When the tail finally disappears, the young froglet becomes an adult
frog. It can now leap onto land and live out of the water.
Discussion:
•What was the first thing that grew on the
tadpole’s body? Second?
•What happened to the tadpole’s tails as it
grows?
•Why can tadpole stay in water?
•Why can adult frogs live on land?
What are the stages of growth in the life
cycle of a frog?
Do you think frogs are our friend? Why?

How beneficial are frogs to people?

Before, frogs are being dissected for study /


research purposes,
Now, are we still permitted to do it in our
Biology subject? Why?
