Our narrator, Alberto, describes how tadpoles hatch from their jelly-like eggs, turn into tadpoles, and then grow into fantastic frogs. This nice video is probably student-created, but it is still informative. Point out to learners how...

Nothing is stranger and more fascinating than witnessing the emergence of an insect. Watch as a dragonfly breaks free from its hardened chrysalis and takes flight. Kids are sure to find this clip very interesting.

Guide your young scientists in reviewing basic animal processes including digestion and reproduction. High schoolers review the stages of metamorphosis and the different types of body symmetry. This worksheet has 8 matching, 6 true or...

In this science worksheet, students read and study pictures about the life cycle of a butterfly. Students then answer 10 questions about the passage. There is a word bank.

A variety of questions are presented on the amazing amphibian. Life science intellectuals complete a life cycle diagram, describe characteristics and behaviors, and fill in a metamorphosis flowchart. Content level is geared toward middle...

Students complete art analysis activities for the paintings of 'Metamorphosis: Adam' and Metamorphosis: Gold and Silver.' Students complete careful looking questions, discussion questions, context questions, and may complete further...

Students complete a unit about the different creatures that can live in a small pond habitat. They create a glossary, create a class Small Pond mural, develop a Frog Fact File, read a variety of books, and conduct research for a report...

Students identify several different types of frogs: spring pepper, green frog, wood frog, etc.) They investigate where they live (in water and on land). Students explore what they sound like. Students identify the lifecycle of a frog...

Studdents are able to identify the metamorphosis of a frog from tadpole to frog. They are able to communicate through writing what they learned about frogs. Students are able to compare what they included in the KWL chart.

Students explore the life cycle of the butterfly and the process of metamorphosis through the creation of painted life cycle habitat. They place each part of the cycle in the correct location through the use of a visual diagram.

Second graders examine the life cycle by observing tadpoles. After reading the book, Tadpole Diary, they draw the stages of tadpole development and write sentences about what they think is happening.
