Report on Frog Species

Once on Frog Island, go to Habitat Land. There are three different ways to get there. First, you can click on the forward pointers on the marker posts until you reach Habitat Land. Second, you may steer yourself there using the control stick at the bottom of the 3-D screen. Habitat Land is located slightly to the right and ahead of where you start. Third, you may get there by clicking on the bar next to the control stick in the bottom of the 3-D screen.
Once in Habitat Land, look for frogs. They may be on the ground, up in the trees, or in the water. To find out information about a particular frog, click on it.
By clicking on the different frogs and reading about them, decide which frog species is the best candidate for creating a better jumper. Make sure you use other resources, such as encyclopedias, videos and magazine articles.
When you have decided which frog to use, write a report about that frog species, using the information in Habitat Land, the Internet links available in Habitat Land, your text, encyclopedias, magazines, etc.. You should use at least 3 different sources.
In your own words (if you must copy a sentence or two, put it in quotation marks and indicate where that sentence came from), make sure you cover the following topics:

Environment Where does the frog live? What is that area like? What adaptations does the frog have that help it survive in that environment?

Reproduction  How does the frog reproduce? What environmental requirements does it have (like access to large bodies of water, periods of heavy rain, etc.)? Does it have any special mating behaviors?

Food Chain  What does it eat? What eats it? What special adaptations does it have to help it find food or avoid being eaten?

Interactions With Humans (if any) What effect are humans having on the frog species, or what are special issues surrounding that frog species (like poison from some frogs being used by native peoples, etc.)?
