What About Frogs?

     The second graders wrote a report together about frogs this week.  We made a list of questions we had about frogs and then read several books and did a computer search to find the answers to our questions.  Here is the report containing the new information we learned. 

What About Frogs?

by 2nd Grade



Frogs have interesting adaptations that help them live.  They can live up to ten years.  When they are tadpoles, they only eat algae and other plants.  They are vegetarians.  When they are adult frogs, they are no longer vegetarians.  They eat insects, worms, and dead animals.   Some frogs eat bugs that come to them while others leap to catch their food. Frogs also might eat their skin when they shed it.  Frogs use their hind legs to jump.  Some frogs can jump ten to twenty times their body length.  A frog’s sticky tongue is folded up inside its mouth.  Its tongue is one-third the length of its body and helps it catch its prey.  Frogs don’t drink water like we do.  They absorb water through their skin.  Some frogs that have bright-colored, slimy skin are poisonous.  Frogs are very interesting to read and learn about.
