How many tadpoles will become frogs?
Subject: Math Objectives: The students will graph observed changes in the growth of the tadpole into a mature frog by predicting how many tadpoles will mature to adulthood, with 60% accuracy. Materials: Tank 20 Tadpoles Gravel, rocks, plants, etc. for placing in the tank Large piece of paper to create a chart Graph Markers Procedures: 1. Ask the children if they think it might be possible to grow tadpoles in the classroom. 2. Explain that during the next week they will be studying frogs, and as part of the study, they will be observing tadpoles grow and develop. 3. Introduce the tadpole tank. Note: The tadpole tank will be introduced for the first time during this lesson. Until it is introduced, it will be covered in an unobtrusive area in the classroom. 4. Have the children predict how many of the tadpoles of the twenty in the tank will develop into adult frogs. 5. Allow each child to record their prediction on the graph. 6. As the children observe the tadpoles developing into frogs,
