Introducing Students to Frog Island

Here are some questions you might use to motivate students before they explore Frog Island. Discuss these with students, or have them discuss these in small groups. When they begin to use the resources on Frog Island and other media (magazines, books, videos), they will come up with more informed responses.

1. What are some characteristics or adaptations that frogs have that help them survive in their environment?

2. What are some ways that frogs and humans are similar?

3. How do frogs' muscles and bones work together to make frogs jump?

4. Why do you think frogs have been used for so long in many ways to help students learn about science?
