Frogs Life Cycle | PBL Biomimicry Design Inspired by Nature Compatible with NGSS

Item description

Frogs are fantastic! They undergo an amazing transformation and your
students will love exploring their life cycle – from  jelly-like eggs
and wriggling tadpoles, to finally jumping around on land. This project
based learning unit focuses on the metamorphosis but it also extends the
understanding of the different stages – making it perfect to challenge
your students. This is a lesson plan that will guide you through
the process of using biomimicry and steam activities to inspire
students to ask questions, study animals, and use creative thinking to
explore ideas.
