Fun with Frogs
Allow your students to explore their curiosity of frogs whilst being engaged in various age-appropriate hands-on activities discovering local frogs, identifying their features and how they can help frogs in their backyard/school. Frogs are quite remarkable creatures, from their adaptations to their unique features, they are a great animal for students to investigate.
Background Information: Using a blended learning approach, students apply information during a short interactive video to answer some questions about Australian frogs. They can match pictures of frogs to their suitable habitat and explore how they can make a frog friendly habitat in the school or at home. Through interactive and engaging activities, students will consolidate their understanding of frogs and discover how they can help frogs in their local area.
