A great article about the frog cycle for elementary students: the mother frog laid eggs in masses in or near the water. Shortly after hatching, the tadpole swims in the water and breathes through gills like a fish. After 6-9 weeks, legs start to sprout, the head becomes more distinct, and the tadpole begins to eat insects and grass. By 12 weeks, the froglet still has remnants of a tail but now breathe using lungs. Soon, it will leave the water. By 12-16 weeks, the frog is grown up. It has completed the entire growth cycle and ready to start the process again.
