Frog Life Cycle

Grade 3 · Science · Life Cycles · Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Lesson Summary

Frogs change from eggs to tadpoles to adult frogs. This change is called metamorphosis.

Explanation

A frog begins life as a tiny egg laid in water. The egg hatches into a tadpole that breathes with gills and swims with a tail, a lot like a fish. Over time, the tadpole grows legs, loses its tail, and develops lungs so it can breathe air. This big change is called metamorphosis. The adult frog can live on land and in water.

Practice Questions

Q3: Where does a frog lay its eggs?
