  1. A Frog’s Life Sponsored in part by Your School

  2. What is a life cycle? • A series of stages, marked by developmental changes throughout the course of the organism’s life. In other words, how they grow up.

  3. But a Frog’s Life Cycle? • Like all organisms in this world, frogs grow from something very small, in this case a tiny egg. They eventually grow into a jumping, ribbiting creature.

  4. Where do they start? After the female frog lays her eggs, she lets them grow on their own. This is a frogspawn.

  5. What happens next? • These eggs hatch into small, fishlike larvae called tadpoles.

  6. A Tadpole? • With a tail and gills as they continue to grow, legs begin to form.

  7. Look at Me! • The rest of the body begins to form with two front legs in a couple of weeks.

  8. Wait a Minute! I Thought They Can Live on Land Too? • As they grow, the tail slowly absorbs into the body and the tadpole develops lungs for breathing on land instead of gills.

  9. My Tail! • The tail is fully absorbed and the frog is completely developed ready to start it’s new life on land.
