36. Did you know that tree frogs use GEOMETRY? “The ability to stick to smooth objects and detach when needed is a perpetual game of geometry for tree frogs, which repeatedly adjust the angle of their toes with respect to the surface. White’s tree frogs — originating in Australia and Indonesia and capable of growing to almost 5 inches — maintain their grip on surfaces by keeping the angles of their toe pads below 90 degrees according to a 2007 study.” WHAT TYPE OF ANGLE IS BELOW 90 DEGREES? Reference: Goudarzi, S. (2007, April 9). Tree frogs use geometry to hang on. Retrieved January 24, 2011, from http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18026130/ns/technology_and_science-science/

37. Now it’s your turn… You are a herpetologist and you have discovered a new type of tree frog. To share your discovery, you will need to create a model and demonstrate how your frog jumps. You will need to trace the path your frog takes and determine if your tree frog is similar to the White’s tree frog – does it jump in acute, obtuse, right, or straight angles? First, let’s make your model!

38. Make your tree frog • Have Ms. E pass out colored index cards (they are in my desk drawer) • Each person will also need a piece of plain paper, a piece of notebook paper, a pencil, and a protractor (protractors are on my desk). • Watch Mrs. Dalimonte and follow along!

39. How to measure angles with a protractor! Click me to learn how to use me! Ref: http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/protractor-using.html

40. To Complete Your Task: • Complete a chart on your notebook paper. • Give your tree frog a name. • Decide where in the world your tree frog calls home. • Present your frog and explain the path hopped.

41. CHART If frog flips over, start him back at the last line drawn. Line is drawn from the “back legs” of the frog. Remember denominator will be total number of jumps. Don’t forget to compare your findings to the White’s Tree Frog!
