Purdy Science teacher, Becky Pifer will be working with the Manatees and other second grade classes on a scientific research assignment called the Frog Research Olympic Games (F.R.O.G.) Project.
* Students will select a frog species to research.
* Students will create an origami frog to represent their chosen frog.
* They will decorate another origami frog to imitate the designs and coloration of their frog, to place in their habitat.
* They will research, design and create an ecosystem for their frog, using a rubric and shoe box.
Students will receive a fact card for their chosen frog species to give them information needed for the project.
The project will culminate with origami frogs competing against each other in Olympic Frog Jumping.
Manatee students will be asked to complete research project as part of their homework.
In an effort to support students in their scientific frog research, we are featuring some safe, child-friendly websites for enrichment opportunities.
Here is a fun "Froggy" crossword with links for answers and facts.
This Froggy Web Site is filled with facts for kids.
Strange but True Facts about Frogs and Toads - another good source for research.
allaboutfrogs.org is a website with games, facts, and other frog related information.
Frogs Around the World offers lots of fun details and learning activities.
Good luck with the F.R.O.G. Project!
