From tadpoles to frogs




This spring, our student Devan brought to us a wonderful clutch of frog eggs. We pulled out our 50 gallon fish tank that we've never used and put some water in it from the runoff stream out behind our school. Within two weeks we had tadpoles. They were pretty fool. We were all so amazed at how fast that they grew. We fed them fish flakes and earth worms (which they ate very rapidly) daily. We watched as they grew rear legs and then front legs. As they matured, we released them into the stream out back. In these pictures you can see the tadpoles and some of the frogs! Talk about experiential learning!
