| Life Cycle of a Frog |
| Written and Illustrated by Alexander |
| The frog's life cycle begins when the frog puts eggs in fresh water.� When a frog lays it's eggs the tadpoles eat egg yolk.� They are in a bubble like egg.� The froth protects them.� The tadpoles are microscopic. |
| Soon the tadpoles hatch from the eggs.� They still eat egg yolk.� In their tail they have a supporting rod to balance.� When they breathe they use a spiracle which is on the left side of their body.� They usually would swim in groups.� They are still tiny starting from egg to tadpole. |
| Finally, the tadpole begins to turn into a froglet.� First a tadpole will grow its back legs that will help him jump.� Later he will grow his front legs.� Then in a matter of weeks he will eat water-weed. |
| Finally, it is an adult frog.� Now it lost its tail.� When it catches a type of insect it will stick to their tongue.� Then the lifecycle will begin again. |
