How Do You Do A Science Project On Frog Hibernation?
Because a frog’s body temperature is the same as its environment, it must hibernate in the winter, otherwise it will die. That sleeping time lasts until spring. This fascinating isolation from the rest of the world invokes enough inquiry for one or more projects–what it sleeps in, how it protects itself from predators, how it eats and survives, and how it knows when to wake up. Building a frog its own winter habitat, or vivarium, is the best way to find out. Through observation, experimentation and drawing conclusions, a lot of new knowledge about these cold-blooded amphibians will emerge. Put the rocks, drift wood, sticks and dirt inside the clean aquarium. This will be the frog’s playground, or indoor living environment. Be sure they came from a pond, lake, or somewhere in your yard away from contaminants. Salty ocean water and any environmental contaminants can harm a frog’s skin. Pour the pond water into the aquarium, filling it up about five inches. This water will need to be cha
