Set out magnifying glasses for observing the tadpoles. Set up a large container with a real frog. Set up a large container with a real toad. Set out a large container with earth worms, crickets, or meal worms. Make a large chart to record the daily changes.
Students use words and illustrations to record the changes.
Before you start the unit, teacher and students set up a habit for Tadpoles and frogs. Keep in mind tadpoles need de-chlorinated water . You can make de-chlorinated water by putting water in a container and letting it sit out for a couple of days or you can add drops purchased from a pet store to the container of water. The tadpoles can be kept in any large container and fed lettuce, algae, and flaked gold fish food . It is important to keep the water clean, so feed them what can be eaten before it contaminates the water.
